"Mercedes was always our opponent. It was like that practically for the whole family, because my brother has always raced against them, so in the beginning it was funny," he said.

"But I have no problem that my brother battles Mercedes in F1 and I drive for them in the GT Masters," Fabian added.

As for what his Ferrari-driving brother thinks, Fabian Vettel answered: "Sebastian took it well and said 'If you have the opportunity, go for it!'"
