"I already have the feeling that the Italians can well imagine that the fastest man in the field will soon be sitting in the Ferrari," the German began.
Currently, the Scuderia has seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton among its ranks.
"Everything starts from scratch. It may be that his (Hamilton's) driving style suits the new concepts much better."
Nevertheless, the German still believes Verstappen would fit the Italian team much better "in terms of attitude."

Rosberg names Verstappen in his top five drivers of all time
Former F1 world champion Nico Rosberg says Max Verstappen has secured his place among the top five drivers all-time.
Speaking on the Sky Sports F1 Show podcast, Rosberg placed the Dutchman alongside Lewis Hamilton, Ayrton Senna, Juan Manuel Fangio, and Michael Schumacher.
"His car [Max Verstappen's] wasn't the best this weekend. I'm pretty sure of that.
"What I learned about Max Verstappen is that he's also now becoming, or has been, so smart that he actually makes such fundamental set-up decisions," he said.
