For four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel, the efforts to make motorsport more sustainable are not enough.
“There are a lot of efforts and ideas, but there is still very little meat on the bone,” said Vettel in Düsseldorf. At the presentation of the German Sustainability Prize on Friday evening, the 36-year-old received the “Special Prize for Role Models of Sustainability”.
“More can happen,” said Vettel and added: “There are many areas in which you could feel more, and racing is one of them.” For the Heppenheimer, “the topic cannot be big enough.”
The former racing driver had already criticized the environmental sins of motorsport before he ended his career last year and is now committed to more environmentally friendly technologies in racing, electric cars and innovative fuels.
