âHi! Today Iâm back in Spielberg, in beautiful Styria, where we built a bee hotel last year in the shape of a racing car together with children from the Frohnleiten primary school. Do you remember the event? Now we wanted to see who has moved into the hotel and whether it has been accepted by the bees and insects⊠And wooow!!! Not only has it been accepted, but it is âcompletely bookedâ! It looks like we will have to add a few more rooms to it!
âToday I hosted a karting event with eight young women from the local area around Jeddah. It was really nice to meet these young ladies, who came from various different backgrounds, and had different levels of experience driving karts. They all impressed me and I was really inspired by their confidence and desire to get involved in this event. I hope they continue on this path of driving for pleasure and continue to enjoy these experiences. Maybe in the future they will be competing in serious competitions with great success. A big âthank youâ to The Track Jeddah for helping make today possible. It was a fun day, promoting the values that are important to me.â (Sebastian Vettel)
Sebastian Vettelâs focus on protecting the environment saw him lead a litter picking exercise following todayâs British GP. âI think it is important that we all respect the environment and donât rely on other people to clear up after us. We have to start somewhere and each one of us can make a difference nowâ said Sebastian.
The worldâs oceans are the habitat of a highly sensitive flora and fauna. This complex ecosystem, one of the most important bases of human life, is under threat. Therefore, one would think that we understand, value and protect our oceans. But rubbish and toxic wastewater still end up in the sea. The result of which is ecological disasters, such as here in the Sea of Marmara. We urgently need a change of mind, a joint effort to save our planet and thus humanity.
