Vettel, who has been an outspoken climate campaigner for some time, conceded that the activists’ protest could have put lives at risk. “Everybody is free to have their own view on it,” Vettel said. There’s marshals trying to stop people from doing these kind of things. You’re risking people that are involved in the race weekend, drivers, marshals. I think the message was very clear and like I said, I completely sympathise with their fears and anxieties.”. “It’s hugely encouraging that we were in the fight,” he said.
