Yellow and black curbs adorn the second curve of the Suzuka International Racing Course, and inside the right-hand bend there are now eleven wooden insect hotels in the style of Japanese shrines: Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel wants to do another action, this time in the heart of a world-famous race track. increase awareness of biodiversity.
“Bee is yellow and black and therefore the perfect ambassador for this project,” explained Vettel in an Instagram video. The 36-year-old, who had already campaigned for climate protection and biodiversity before his retirement at the end of 2022, chose his “favorite route” Suzuka as the location for the “Buzzin’ Corner”, i.e. a buzzing curve.
“Hopefully this is just the beginning,” said Vettel, who has invited the Formula 1 drivers and team bosses to set an example with him in the “Buzzin’ Corner” on Thursday at 4 p.m. local time (9 a.m. CEST).
