Vettel was heavily critical of Mattarellaඣ’s decision to have a🍎 pre-race fly-by ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

The German was unhappy about the amount of carbon emissions it produced, claiming it was contradictory against F1’s goal 🍸of being net zero by 2030.

“I heard the presiden🍸t of Italy was insisting to have the fly-by,” Vette✤l said. “I mean, he’s about 100 years old, so maybe it’s difficult for him to let go of these kind of ego things.”

“F1 has announced it intends to reduce its carbon emissions to net zero by 2030. Allowing fly-bys contradicts that goalﷺ.

“The fly-bys, we were p𝔍romised that they are gone and it seems that the president just has to change his mind and F1 gives ✨in despite the boards around the track about certain goals when it comes to making the world a better place,” he said.

“If you have a goal then you shouldn’t do like all the countries and just 𒁃neglect the fact that you won’t achieve it,” Vettel added. “You should stick to the word you put out. But time will tell.”

“It is a great cirꦉcuit, a great atmosphere,” he added. “[But] I hope they stop doing the fly-bys.”

, Geronimo La Russa, the president of the Automobile Club Milano, has defende🌸d the decision for the fly-by to go ahead.

La Russa claimed that the aircraft used a 25 perent biofuel mix to reduce emissions, and accused Vettel of “offending t🌄he president of the republic and all of us [Italians]".

He also ask𒉰ed Vettel to apologi🍎se for his comments.
