Sebastian Vettel has revealed that Ferrari are likely to sign up some new drivers for their simulator.

The Italian team have lost their two development drivers Antonio Giovinazzi to Sauber and Daniil Kvyat to Toro Rosso.

Sebastian Vettel admitted that "I'm not a big fan of the simulator," and was quoting by Corriere dello Sport saying, "but it is a very important tool for improving the car.

"We must thank the guys who work there because it is not the best thing to do on a Friday evening,"

The German World Champion revealed that "for next year we do not know who will be there, but I think we will be able to find drivers who can do the job well."
