Respect for Sebastian Vettel who was the first of the current Formula One drivers to say that he has decided not to race in the Russian Grand Prix if it goes ahead as scheduled in September.
Picture above: Sebastian Vettel was joined on the 2018 Russian Grand Prix podium by Vladimir Putin…
Sebastian Vettel: “My decision is already made. It’s horrible to see what is happening. My own opinion is I should not go. I will not go. I think it’s wrong to race the country.”
He added: “I’m sorry for the people you know, innocent people that are losing their lives, that are getting killed for stupid reasons and a very strange and mad leadership.”
Reigning World Champion Max Verstappen said: “When a country is at war, it is not right to race there.”
We agree with these two champions, and we believe the Formula One should swiftly erase the Russian Grand Prix from its calendar.
