Vettel calls for independent body to monitor F1’s environmental targets

Four-time World champion Sebastian Vettel has called for an independent body to monitor and hold Formula One accountable to meet its target of being Net Zero Carbon by the end of the decade.

Over the last few years, Vettel has been vocal about his concerns for the environment and climate change. He even admitted the conflict between his beliefs while being part of a fuel-guzzling sport was a factor in his decision to retire at the end of the year.

Though F1 has set an ambitious target, some have questioned how serious the sport is when it recently announced a 24-race calendar for 2023, which could make it the longest in F1 history, up from 22 this year.
