Luca di Montezemolo has rubbished reports that Ferrari is lining up Sebastian Vettel as a future driver.
As Ferrari launched the new F150 at Maranello, di Montezemolo insisted he had no intention of tapping up the reigning world champion at any stage in the future.
"There is absolutely nothing going on, apart from the congratulations for a wonderful season and the fact that he knew how to benefit from the last race in Abu Dhabi," the Ferrari president said.
"I hope that [the next Ferrari driver] will come from the Ferrari driver academy, because that would mean that he's a top star," he said.
Montezemolo's comments suggest a promising future for 21-year-old Jules Bianchi, a product of the academy, who will be the team's test driver in 2011.
