Sebastian Vettel does not rule out returning to Formula 1: I have some ideas

Four times world champion Formula 1 Sebastian Vettel He may have retired as a driver at the end of the 2022 season, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t considering a return to the series. during the Goodwood FestivalIt is an annual motor racing event Englandthe former driver answered questions about a possible return to the F1 circuit.

Speaking about the future of the category and the importance of the way it follows a sustainable environmental path for its survival, Vettel did not rule out the possibility of taking a position in FIA Or in Formula 1 itself to drive such a mission.

“I have some ideas. I was in Monaco at the beginning of this year and had a great conversation with Stefano Domenicali,” the German said of his meeting with the top-class motorsport executive. Formula 1’s goal is to become carbon neutral in fuel by 2026, but the former driver fears that milestone will not be reached in time.

In addition, Vettel also warns of the fact that the single seat is not the only source of pollution in this class. “F1 has a lot of responsibility because it’s a very big event. Lots of people watched it, around 500,000 people were in the UK last weekend. Most people focus on it.”

During the Goodwood Festival, Vettel raced his McLaren MP4/8, the car used by Ayrton Senna in the 1993 season. For the event, the former driver used sustainable fuel, something he’d been doing for some time. According to the German himself, the idea is to show that “it is possible to have fun, but perhaps in a more responsible way. It is something that perhaps not everyone has fully understood”.
