Sebastian Vettel has hit out at Formula 1 for not doing enough amid the new ‘green’ environmental trends. “Formula 1 should channel its competitive spirit, ambition, knowledge and speed of development so that relevant technologies are developed for everyone,” the quadruple world champion told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper. “There is a great opportunity for the sport to authentically secure its existence, but it is being ignored,” Vettel alleges. He said the argument that doing more is too great an expense amid the covid crisis is not convincing. “Formula 1 has always cost a lot of money,” said the 33-year-old. “That seems to be the case,” said the 2021 Aston Martin driver. “I believe that we have ignored the topic of environmental technology as an area of development for far too long,” said Vettel.
