Sebastian Vettel took part in the British TV program Question Time on the BBC on Thursday evening. Sebastian spoke on several current issues, including commentary on global environmental issues.
The Aston Martin driver was asked if he finds his calls for environmental concerns hypocritical, given that he is involved in a sport that has a negative impact on the environment. To which Sebastian replied, “Yes, and you’re right to laugh at me.
There are questions I ask myself every day. I am no saint, but I am concerned about topics such as the future of our sport, the use of different types of energy, energy independence and what the future holds for us.
We should no longer be dependent on fossil fuels, and the solutions are already there. The UK has a real gold mine – wind energy, and you have the opportunity to increase production of solar energy. Every country has strengths and weaknesses. Austria has the Alps and mountain rivers that can be used to generate electricity.
If you go back to your point of view, then you are right. I wonder this.”
Sebastian Vettel’s contract with Aston Martin expires at the end of the year and he has not yet decided whether to extend it. When Vettel was asked if it is worth it to continue driving in Formula 1, taking into account the impact of the championship on the environment, Sebastian replied: “I ask myself about it and I wonder if I should go around the world to travel.
Some things I can influence, but some things I can’t control. My passion is driving, I love it and I enjoy it every time I get behind the wheel. However, when I leave the cockpit I wonder if this is what I should be doing, traveling the world and wasting resources.
Formula 1 entertains people. During the pandemic, we were the first to resume competition at a time when the world was ready to go crazy. I’m not saying Formula 1 has a huge place in the world of entertainment, but many didn’t have it. I think if we hadn’t resumed the season, we probably would have gone crazy.
There are many questions I ask myself, and I can definitely improve in some ways. Do I have to fly the plane to the race every time? No, if it is possible to get to the track by car. Some things I can control, others I can’t.”
