Aston Martin has set themselves a target of 3-5 years to fight for the title. Will you still be in the team by then? Do you think you still have what it takes to win another world title?
 
Vettel: "I think so. I am not too old yet. And I don't think it's related to age anyway."
Vettel: "It's more a question of the car and the team. F1 has always been like that, as far back as I can remember. In the last few years, you had to be in a Mercedes to win the title. I'm not telling you anything new."

Vettel: "I got close at times with Ferrari, but we were never close enough to be in the fight until the last 2-3 races of the season. Winning my first championship was a relief, because you know you can do it. I don't see why not."

Vettel: "To win, you have to be in it for the long time. If we take Mercedes as an example, we can see that they have laid the foundations for their dominance from 2011-2012 and with the introduction of the new hybrid powertrains, they have taken a long lead."

Vettel: "And yet, the Mercedes chassis was not extraordinary in 2014. It took a few more years for that to happen. Things take time in F1 and there is only one winner in the end, so congratulations to Mercedes."

Vettel: "F1 is going through a phase of change. Everyone hopes that the gaps will close, you don't want to be on the podium only because the leaders have given up. We'll see how F1 evolves in the coming years, but as far as age goes, I think I've got a lot of years left in me."

Aston executives have often repeated that you seem to have lost your "mojo" at Ferrari. Do you think you have already regained it back?
 
Vettel : "The term "mojo" does not have a meaning in German. Maybe that's the best way for me to answer that question (laughs)."

#AUTOhebdo
Vettel: "It's no secret that I wasn't the happiest man last year. I can't wait for the new season to start. I am surrounded by a group of very enthusiastic people. They are driven by a great state of mind."

#AUTOhebdo @AstonMartinF1
Vettel: "The workforce is much smaller than at Ferrari, partly, because we don't build an engine. We are on a reverse trajectory compared to most of the big teams, especially the ones where I raced previously."
