Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel has frequently used his platform to raise awareness for various issues, such as the discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community and climate change.
Ahead of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, the German driver was seen wearing a shirt that highlighted “Canada’s climate crime,” mining tar sands.
Vettel was asked about the shirt during Friday’s driver press conferences, and he revealed that he will have a special helmet this weekend.
“We live in a time and age where we are so much aware of a lot of things. I think, you know what happens in Alberta is a crime because you chop down a lot of trees, and you basically destroy the place just to extract oil,” he said.
