Vettel would make good son-in-law, says Ecclestone

German Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel would make a good son-in-law, according to F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone, a father of two daughters.

"He would be a good son-in-law," Ecclestone told Bild newspaper. "He's funny, normal, he has goals and does everything he can to attain them. I like him a lot.

"He has my blessing to go out with my daughters," he said in reference to the similarly aged Tamara and Petra, who both enjoy a high degree of publicity in social celebrity circles.

The 23-year-old Vettel, however, is already accounted for, dating schoolhood friend Hanna.
