Vettel was heavily critical of Mattarella’s decision t🐲o have a pre-race fly-by ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Mo🏅nza.

The German was unhapp🐷y 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 president of Italy was insisting to have the✃ fly-by,” Vettel said. “I mean, he’s about 100 years old, so maybe it’s difficult for him to let go of these kind of ego thi﷽ngs.”

“F1 has annꦯounced it intends to reduce its car🧸bon emissions to net zero by 2030. Allowing fly-bys contradicts that goal.

“The fly-bys, we were promised 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 neglect the fact that you won’t achieve it,” ܫVettel added. “You should stick to🍌 the word you put out. But time will tell.”

“It is a great circuit, a great atmosphere,” he added. “[But] I hope t♔hey stop doing the fly-bys.”

, Ge🍌🐈ronimo La Russa, the president of the Automobile Club Milano, has defended 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 the president of the republic and all of us [I💝talians]".

He also asked Vettel to apologise for h🐼is comments.
