Environmentalist VETTEL: You can say I'm a HINAVEC, but…

Sebastian Vettel understands why some may view him as a hypocrite in promoting environmental awareness, but in his view, a ban is not the answer.

Four-time world champion is increasingly active in initiatives dealing with environmental issues. He recently spent his free time between the two races in Austria with schoolchildren helped build apiary, after the last race in Silverstone however, he joined garbage collection in the stands. Even before the start of this season, he expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the tests took place in Bahrain. At the time of the first lockdown in 2022 he did an internship at bio farm.

Before the race for British GP in Silverstone, he had Hag opportunity to talk to some students from Nicholas Hawksmoor Elementary School, who were considered the team's racer Aston Martin some very good questions about his role and also Formula 1 in solving it environmental issues. As we know, she is formula 1 set a goal to become by the year carbon neutral, while at new engines, occurring in 2025 or 2026, there was a greater emphasis on biofuels in electricity.

An interesting video where Sebastian Vettel talks to British primary school students about his efforts to protect the environment. The Aston Martin racer not only talks about it, he does it too. Definitely worth a visit.

Of course it is formula 1 at the same time largely dependent on fossil fuels, so they are schoolchildren Vettel asked if he ever felt that way guiltysince encouraging others in view environmental awareness. "Yes, of course there is this sense of guilt. It seems to me that you could say that I am a hypocrite because I am doing something contrary to what I say we need to pay attention to,”Is Nemec replied to the students. “However, I don’t think we’re going to change people’s minds by banning something to ban me from driving a car. I don’t think that would have the effect we would have liked. So I think it’s up to us to find solutions that mean we can still do these things."

After the race in Silverstone, Vettel joined the garbage collection in the stands of the British racetrack.

Na question about a certain unsustainable things in Formula 1, which he himself would like to improve, is Hag said it was dirk calendar, which should be easily adjusted to make it travel between racetracks as efficient as possible. “I think it would be easiest to fix the race calendar,”To me a racer Aston Martin. "We are now traveling from one part of the world to a completely different side and back, flying back and forth. I think we could change this very easily only if we had a slightly different calendar."
