Formula 1: Vettel doubts whether he should continue because of climate change

Despite the fact that today’s Formula 1 hybrid powertrains are the most energy-efficient engines in automotive history, meaning they extract the maximum energy from every drop of fuel, the F1 has uncontrollable emissions due to all air transport, hauling caravans – people and tons equipment – all over the world.

Sebastian Vettel, who has developed an intense social action – perhaps the most intense of all, along with Lewis Hamilton, who focuses on discrimination and racism – wore a t-shirt to the Miami GP ahead of the city’s chilling coverage of the sea warned of climate change threats.

A few days later, the German appeared on the British television program Question Time, alongside a number of British government and opposition MPs, lawyers, economists and even comedians.

Referring to the issue of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Vettel stressed that the humanitarian crisis caused by the war is a critical issue that needs to be addressed immediately by the United Nations. Speaking about the energy dependency of his country – Germany – on Russia, he stressed that there need not be such dependency on any country.

When his show’s host mentioned that he was playing a sport that wasted energy and fuel and made him look like a hypocrite, viewers laughed and Vettel replied: “Yes, and you’re right to laugh, because these are questions I ask myself every day. I am not a saint. “I’m very worried about the future, energy issues, energy dependency and where we’re going.”

The Aston Martin F1 driver continued: “There are things I have control over and others I can’t. Driving is my passion and I love it. I’m happy every time I get in the car. But every time I get out of them, I wonder if I should. Travel the world, waste resources.

I worry a lot because there are a lot of things that I feel I can do better. Do I have to take the plane every time? No if I can come by car. Some things I control, others not”concluded Sebastian Vettel.
