Sep.13 (GMM) A Ferrari-linked official has admitted he is "very glad" to hear Sebastian Vettel's desire to wear a red suit on the Monza podium one day.

2011 champion-elect Vettel, although contracted for the long term to Red Bull, said no fewer than three times in the post-Italian grand prix press conference that winning with a "red suit" would be an even more special feat.

"I would like to congratulate Vettel," said Andrea Agnelli, the Juventus president and grandson of the famous Giovanni Agnelli.

Agnelli, 35, is also a Fiat and Exor board member.

"He (Vettel) showed yet again his will and determination, which he can exploit to the full thanks to what at the moment is the best car," he told Italian broadcaster Rai.

"He would like to win with the Ferrari? I'm very glad about that," added Agnelli.
