Vettel and his team go into the season, which starts in Adelaide this weekend, as favourites for a fourth championship in a row.
Asked if that would be bad for F1, the McLaren driver said: "If he walks away with it, it probably wouldn't be the best thing. But if it's a season like last year or 2010, I don't think it's such a problem because the racing has been great for the last few years, the best racing I've ever seen.
"But for us it would hurt a lot because the team hasn't won the world championship since 2008, and I haven't won it since 2009."
