Sebastian Vettel certainly needs no introduction, his racing history in Formula 1 & egrave; well known. With time & egrave; also matured as a person and is not afraid to express his thoughts even when it comes to & quot; uncomfortable & quot; topics; on which his colleagues prefer not to expose themselves. The pilot has never hidden his sympathies towards green issues , so much so that during the recent political elections in Germany he & egrave; openly sided with the German ecological party.
And it is; also following this thought of him that Vettel decided to sell a good part of the collection of his cars. In an interview with Motorsport.com, the German driver spoke about the causes he is supporting and above all he pointed the finger at the Formula 1 Circus, highlighting that this sport needs to change if wants to survive .
FORMULA 1 MUST CHANGE
Vettel has talked about many of the causes he is marrying, but speaking strictly of the world of Formula 1 and the technical prospects for the next few years, the driver has pointed the finger at those who manage this sport that if he does not change, he will risk; to disappear in the future. A world where only results are discussed.
The bad thing is; that in Formula 1 we only talk about results, you lose some positions, you lose points, you lose an opportunity, in the end you don't win the championship for that, but does it really matter? In the real world we are hurting people by not taking care of them, and this has a huge impact on their lives, they are not a result or points or a championship, but we are talking about the lives of many people and their future. When I talk about this kind of thing, I don't know, maybe it's; a feeling of justice when I see unfair things, so I'm happy to talk about it.
For the German champion, there are all the necessary technologies to make the Formula 1 plus ecological without compromising the show.
We are living in an era that provides us with innovations and technologies that can allow us to make Formula 1 ecological too, and do so without sacrificing spectacle, speed, challenge and passion. We have many professionals with great intelligence and engineering power at our disposal, and I am sure we could find many solutions. If I think of the current regulations, I say that they are very exciting, with a super efficient engine, but in fact it is; useless, because & eacute; will not be never a technology that will be available in two years on road cars. So I think we have to ask the question: which is it? the relevance of all this & ograve ;?
Vettel thinks that the time has come to propose an important change for the world of F1, without which this sport may have no future.
Today some people are discussing the future of our sport in terms of technical regulations and could decide and approve a major change, which in my opinion would be a good thing for Formula 1, and it is; also a vital thing. If it will not be & agrave; so it will not be optimistic, I think Formula 1 will disappear. And probably for good reasons, because & eacute; we are in the phase in which we are aware of having made mistakes and we no longer have; time to continue committing others.
NO TO BIOFUELS IN F1
In particular, the driver points the finger at the news that Formula 1 will target & agrave; for the future on biofuels. A proposal that he does not approve as would prefer the use of synthetic fuels , even if he admits that he is not a great fuel specialist.
They are more & ugrave; a fan of synthetic fuels rather than biofuels, because & eacute; with biofuels I think it's a bit complicated. I think it's definitely a good idea for Formula 1 to find a way to use renewable fuels, or a formula for synthetic fuels, and so on. how & # 39; & egrave; now we have a good engine. Next year we will have a 10% biofuel content and from a technological point of view it is not; a revolution since you can & ograve; already buy that fuel at gas stations from customers around the world. So it is not; a novelty, and I don't think it corresponds to the kind of ambitions that Formula 1 should have, which is to be a leading context on the technological front.
According to Vettel, Formula 1 should face a challenge more challenging that can open a new path.
I would prefer a more challenge; challenging, which opens a new road. The engines will be frozen in 2022, I hear that something could change sooner, but in fact they will be frozen until 2025 or 2026, so it means that there won't be much progress for five years, and it will be; a period of time in which there will be many changes. And this aspect will put & agrave; under pressure those contexts in which there will be no changes, a risk that will run; Formula 1 too.
F1 AS A TECHNOLOGICAL LEADER
Vettel then talked about what could be the changes that would place Formula 1 as a technological leader . The pilot points out that the circus has many engineers who could help find a solution to the issue of mobility.
I don't have all the answers, but we have many engineers and I believe that if we talk about mobility; we could help find a solution. Today there are more of 1 billion cars in the world that are powered by fossil fuels every day, and we also have planes and ships powered by fossil fuels. Finding a real alternative for these means of transport is; one of the great challenges for the future, whether it is to electrify or find a hydrogen engine, or perhaps something else that some intelligent man or woman will invent; in the future.
For the German, F1 could play a very important role in pushing towards the spread of synthetic fuels, as long as they are introduced as soon as possible.
I believe that Formula 1 has a huge chance to push in the direction of synthetic fuels by introducing them as soon as possible, even if some rules are already in place; been decided. We don't have time to talk about the personal interests of a specific manufacturer, c & rsquo; & egrave; something much, much more; big at stake, and I believe we could use our resources, namely the know-how that Formula 1 has with all the smart people working in this world, with the resources, facilities and even capital that this sport can have. ; allocate.
The pilot then points out that we must not waste time and that it is essential to start doing something rather than continuing to argue for another 5 years without doing anything concrete.
I don't know exactly what the best solution is, but I think we need to start doing something rather than arguing for another five years, a period in which it won't actually happen. nothing concrete.
