Athletistic/ Formula 1. Sonia Savage, Minister of Energy for the Canadian province of Alberta, reacted strongly to Sebastian Vettel’s speeches on environmental protection.

Vettel, who arrived in Canada for the next stage of the Grand Prix, said he would draw attention to the oil sands being mined in Alberta. According to the German, this harms the atmosphere.

In turn, Savage called the Aston Martin driver a hypocrite: “I’ve seen a lot of hypocrisy, but this is the most egregious. The driver represents Aston Martin, which is financed by an oil company, and complains about sand production.”
