On being asked about the message on his shirt, regarding the rising sea level in Miami, he said “It’s not a political message. I’m not a politician, I don’t want to be political. It’s a very human message. It’s great that we have a race here, there are great people here and it’s very exciting.”
“But, I find it alarming and I’m surprised we go to a place that’s not going to be there in 50 years’ time and everybody acts and carries on business as usual,” Vettel further explained.
The Aston Martin driver then showed up on BBC Question Time and talked about the difficulty his enthusiasm for Formula 1 and his perspectives on environmental issues bring. He said:
“Every time I step in the car, I love it. When I get out of the car, of course, I’m thinking is this something we should do, travel the world, ‘wasting’ resources? On the other hand, we are entertaining people, during Covid we were one of the first sports to start again and there were races back on.”
