Vettel: “I am the biggest hypocrite there is”
"I'm the biggest hypocrite there is when I talk about environmental issues and leave such a big footprint at the same time!" Ex-Formula 1 star Sebastian Vettel admits that his motorsport past is at odds with his stance on environmental protection.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "I flew around the world for years - and not economy, but business or first class," admits the 37-year-old German in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger. "But do I have to feel bad about it? We won't solve the problem with shame, but rather by confronting it and looking for solutions!"
Since the end of his Formula 1 career, Vettel has repeatedly campaigned intensively for environmental and climate protection. "We are all hypocrites because we also enjoy things that we know are not so good. Do we have to fly to Thailand on vacation? No. But it's also incredibly beautiful there," says the four-time world champion.
"We shouldn't ban traveling"
His demand: "We shouldn't ban travel, but offer technological options that allow us to do the same as before - only more sustainably."
