Even if Sebastian Vettel has proven his love for nature several times in the past, he made it clear that his actions were not a publicity stunt, but rather his real concern for the environment.
The four-time driver champion has participated in various environmental initiatives in the past, including an organic farming internship during the COVID lockdown last year. In addition, later this year he was seen collecting rubbish from the stands after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, an action that was very much appreciated by internet users on social media.
Sebastian Vettel explains the need to take care of the environment
After the Russian Grand Prix last weekend, Sebastian Vettel explained the reasons for his interest in taking on “credible projects” that help the environment. According to Autosport, the Aston Martin F1 driver said, “I don’t just do these things for people to look at. The first thing I always want to make sure is that whatever I do, it actually makes sense. And it actually helps the place where we are and whatever we do. “
The German racing driver gave examples of initiatives he has taken in the past to explain his point of view. For example, before this year’s Austrian Grand Prix, Vettel took part in an event where a bee hotel was built at a school. Regarding the initiative, the 34-year-old said they “created a space or place where they can live and come back”.
Vettel went on to explain that it is important not just to talk about what should be done in practice, but to lead by example when considering an initiative for the common good. “It’s great when people are interested and it inspires others to do similar things, think about them, or question their activities and behavior, just to see how they could possibly contribute. But I think the first priority is always to make it believable to me that it makes sense. It’s great to say what to do and talk about it, but I think you have to do it yourself too. Otherwise I don’t think it’s authentic, “added the Aston Martin F1 driver.
