“In the ROC Mexico [in 2019], we came second in the ROC Nations Cup, so our aim is to do better in Sweden. The competition will be very strong, especially from the Nordic riders who have a lot more experience riding on snow and ice than we do.
“It’s very nice to see the many new sustainability initiatives that the Race Of Champions is implementing to become a climate positive event in the years to come,” said Vettel.
