But there is. is a goal to improve the world by limiting emissions … ”

Sebastian Vettel hard with the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella for the overflight of the Frecce Tricolori in Monza together with an airliner with Italian colors. A very spectacular exhibition, but which F1 previously had proposed to abolish, as in the rest of the circuits, because it is a source of pollution due to the high quantity of carbon dioxide produced.

insistence and goals

“I heard that the President of Italy insisted on having the flyby – the words of Vettel -. He is about 100 years old (81 actually, ed), so maybe it’s hard for him to let go of this kind of ego-related thing. We were promised that the flyovers would be over, but it seems that the President has changed his mind and F1 has surrendered despite the billboards around the track on certain objectives linked to making the world a better place. “The reference is linked to the intention of the F1 to reduce its carbon emissions to zero by 2030, which is contrary to the overflight clearance. “If you have a goal, you shouldn’t overlook the fact that you won’t reach it,” Vettel said. word you have spoken. But time will tell. “

fall of style

The president of Sias, the company that manages the Monza racetrack, Giuseppe Radaelli, also intervened on the matter, defining Vettel’s words as “a bad fall in style” on the passage of the Frecce Tricolori on the Monza circuit due to the presence of the Chief of the state. “It is a controversy that offends the President of the Republic and all of us. We thank Mattarella for coming here to celebrate the centenary of the racetrack: yesterday’s plane flew, for the first time, with a dose equal to 25% of fuel bio, an important experiment also for civil aviation “. An exhibition, however, which according to the Aston Martin driver would have been avoidable and which would have caused pollution for no reason.
