Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel thinks F1 should reinvest some of its revenue into helping its race promoters put on more sustainable events. Here's what the Aston Martin driver said ⬇️
In 2019 Formula 1 announced plans to have a net-zero carbon footprint by 2030, covering areas including logistics, the use of renewable fuels and reducing waste.
Vettel stressed that as impressive as F1's efficient hybrid engines are, it should put more emphasis on its footprint as a spectator sport in the wake of its expansion to 24 races per year, which are all well attended as the sport has become more popular than ever. Speaking at a summit hosted by World eX, an esports championship promoting zero-emission mobility and clean energy, Vettel said:"Any type of event that attracts a big crowd has to live up to the responsibilities that come with our times.
"But with that there's more people that need to get to the track, that need to be managed when they are at the track. So yes, there's a lot that can be done, similar to other big events.
