Vettel and Mercedes bring Messages of the Month Pride of LOATKI+ to F1
Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes express the messages of the complete elimination of social discrimination for the LOATKI+ community with a view to the beginning of Pride month through Formula 1.
As four-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel calls on Formula 1 to tackle discrimination and prejudice, Mercedes will bring its rainbow-colored emblem to the next three GPs – a symbol of the LGBT community.
Vettel says F1 is now ready to accept its first openly gay driver, arguing that this will help break down prejudice and take the sport “in a better direction”.
The German driver was photographed by Aston Martin for the cover of the summer issue of “Attitude”, the world’s best-selling magazine on homosexuality. Other international sports stars such as David Beckham have featured on the same cover in the recent past.
Vettel in particular emphasized in an interview with the magazine: “I listened to people indirectly [στη F1] speaking negatively about LGBTQI and this community. Every time I heard something like this I immediately felt bad, but today I feel more confident talking and making ’em pop. Homophobia is prejudice and prejudice is wrong. It’s really, really easy.”
The German added: “I imagine a situation similar to football: the old stereotype of a footballer or coach “hero” who meets certain criteria. But these criteria are wrong. How exactly do these criteria relate to everyone’s performance? Who decides? It takes tremendous courage to show your true self instead of hiding behind a mask defined by what others believe.
After the Brit Mike Butler, who competed in Formula 1 from 1971 to 1973, no other gay driver is known in this sport. In contrast, motorsport today is generally dominated by gay women, such as Jessica Hawkins, who competes in the W Series and works with Vettel at Aston Martin.
Vettel added that F1 has a lot to do with this serious issue: “Things are getting better, you see some engineers now that feel like they can open up more. But there is still a lot we can do to increase diversity and accessibility in sport, not only in relation to sexuality, but also in supporting and empowering women, black people, people with disabilities, etc.
THE F1 started a movement called We Race As One and that’s good, but we always have to strive to make this a positive change. And so we speak with deeds and not with words”concluded the 34-year-old.
Likewise, Mercedes announced that for the duration of Pride at the next three GPs – Azerbaijan, Canada and Great Britain – its emblem on the snout of the W13 and the helmets of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will have the colors of the rainbow – symbol of the LOATKI+ community.
With the colorful star of Stuttgart, the F1 champion wants to spread the message of the month Pride and everything he represents. And he says it’s just one of the relevant actions in the coming weeks of the Accelerate 25 program he’s driving with Lewis Hamilton to spread the message of social equality and the elimination of all forms of discrimination.

A king was born on Boxing Day: Amorim’s United fielded four defenders for the first time
There was only one Premier League game, held on Friday December 26th, the traditional Boxing Day, but it was a very good match for Manchester United fans who have experienced so much disappointment of late. A 1-0 win against Newcastle was a relief for the Old Trafford side.
But it was more than that. Ruben Amorim, unwilling to change his philosophy despite his poor results, played with four players in defense for the first time at United.
United have changed in other ways as well. They won with a possession rate of 33.4%, the lowest of any Red Devils team this season. This was also the lowest since January 2023, when they scored 29.4 per cent in the win over Manchester City. And United had nine shots on goal compared to 16 for the Magpies.
Patrick Dorg’s first goal as a Manchester United player and his second “clean sheet” of the season opened the door to an unpretty but essential victory for Amorim’s side. Amorim admitted it was one of his “most satisfying” wins since taking charge of United. “We are suffering together. If we always have this spirit, we will win many games,” added the Portuguese coach. And all this happened without United football’s most influential player, Bruno Fernandes, missing out due to injury. Amorim replaced the Portuguese midfielder with Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte.
