Sebastian Vettel uses carbon-neutral fuel to drive the iconic “Red 5” Williams FW14B, where Nigel Mansell won the F1 Championship in 1992 at Silverstone on Sunday morning at the F1 British Grand Prix. ..
On Thursday, Sebastian Better said there was “no difference” in how the Williams FW14B was driven by carbon-neutral fuel, and driving historic cars in a more eco-friendly way “lives these cars and history.” He said he believed it was important for him.
“I’m looking forward to a lot of fun. It’s a great car, and I think the history and sound of the car is great, so I hope people can share that fun. I’m looking forward to it.”
“As for the actual fuel, it took a while to find the fuel, but once it was found, it was actually very easy and it took only one shakedown to get through.”
“I think we can see it on Sunday. It’s no different from the car 30 years ago. It sounds exactly the same and runs the same. I’m not going to reach the limit completely within a couple of laps. I’m going to have fun. I’m going to run as fast as I feel comfortable. It might be a little different from the car I just rented, keeping in mind that it’s my car. “
“I think it’s fun. I think it’s great to demonstrate to people. Motorsport is our passion and what we grew up in. The car we dreamed of as a kid is different from other drivers. I think it’s important to continue to find ways to take responsibility for car and history. “
“In the end, culture can be expressed in various ways, such as music and art, but it would be a shame if we couldn’t express it all by driving a car or racing car.”
“I think it’s a way to stay alive and I’m looking forward to it. F1 is heading in that direction in 2026 and may be faster, but for many reasons it is. All I think it’s the best way to have fun together. ”
Sebastian Vettel said the initiative was his idea and would like to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the car that won both the championship and the F1 British Grand Prix.
Sebastian Vettel will sell the Williams FW14B chassis 08 from the Bonhams auction house at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed for £ 2.7 million, including the purchaser’s premium. I bought it.
The Williams FW14B Chassis 08 was used in 13 of the 16 races of the 1992 F1 World Championship, winning seven pole positions.
“It’s my idea. It’s my car. I bought the car a few years ago. I think it was four years ago. The Red 5 is the car with the Red 5 in 1992, just 30 years ago. is”
“Of course, I’ve put a number 5 on my car. I won my first championship in the Red 5. It was a little smaller on the car at the time, but it was still number 5. I also put a number 5 on the cart. I was, and I still have number 5, so there is a link there. “
“I think the early 1990s are the first memories of F1, that car, and a few years later. It’s my idea and my initiative. It’s been 30 years and 30 years since I won the championship. I also won the previous British Grand Prix, so I thought it was a great idea. “
“But I thought I had to do it in a responsible way, so I’ll use carbon neutral fuel on Sunday. We can stick to the history, heritage and culture of motorsport, but in a more responsible way. To show that you can do that. “
“So I’m really looking forward to driving the car for the first time and hearing the sound of the car. I think a lot of people will share that joy with me.”
