Formula 1 needs to be “careful” not to be left behind as climate change takes centre stage, according to quadruple world champion Sebastian Vettel. He thinks Formula 1, given its status, is not being proactive enough on environmental issues including climate change and sustainability. “I find it absolutely justified that every company has to face this responsibility,” Vettel told the German edition of Playboy magazine. “If Formula 1 is not careful, it will have a serious problem very soon.”. “Having a profitable business is a common goal in our society,” said Vettel. But I think we are still a long way from this idea in Formula 1.
