Sebastian Vettel now has his own “Vettel Grove”. The four-time world champion will make his 296th Formula 1 start this Sunday (9:00 p.m. CEST/Sky). There are four more in total before he ends his career at the age of 35.
Reasons enough for the bosses of the Circuit of the Americas to pay special tribute to the founder and chairman Bobby Epstein, who was born in Heppenheim with his great environmental commitment.
For every start in a race, Vettel gets a tree in the “Vettel Grove” on the race site.
The first 20 have already been deployed. And of course Vettel helped out with a shiny gold shovel.
