On Sunday, Sebastian Vettel criticized Formula 1 leadership and the president of Italy, calling him “almost a 100-year-old man” – the German did not like the aerobatic team flying over Frecce Tricolori before the start, which in his opinion hurts the environment.
On the pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the organizer of the Grand Prix, the president of the Milan Automobile Club, Geronimo La Russa, demanded an apology from Vettel …
Geronimo La Russa: “These words are offensive to the President of the Republic and to all of us. We thank President Mattarella for coming to Monza for the 100th anniversary of the circuit. In addition, these planes were the first to use fuel with 25% biofuel – an important experiment for civil aviation.
I have always been taught that the President of the Republic should be listened to, not commented on, especially if you are a guest in a foreign country. Flights of the Frecce Tricolori aerobatic team are the pride of Italy. It is unfortunate that the world champion who won his first Grand Prix at Monza said what he said. He can only apologize to the president and all Italians.”
