四届世界冠军Sebastian Vettel相信，一级方程式拥有将可持续发展目标与激动人心的赛道表现相结合的技术。
作为一名对该系列赛历史有着深厚热情的赛车手，维特尔并不是2014年引入F1的涡轮混合动力系统的最大支持者，他批评其沉闷的声浪以及复杂性对比赛产品的影响。
在2019年俄罗斯大奖赛上法拉利混合动力系统故障后，维特尔在车队无线电中著名地喊道：“把该死的V12拿回来。”
作为一位著名的环保主义者，维特尔的价值观和他对老派赛车的热爱长期以来似乎相互冲突，但尽管“并不认同我们目前规则中的所有内容”，这位德国人也觉得当前的技术进步正在开辟新的机会，在未来将可持续性和刺激性结合起来。
“我觉得这很令人兴奋，”维特尔在意大利大奖赛上说，他在那里驾驶了迈克尔·舒马赫2002年的法拉利F1赛车，该车拥有尖啸、全血的V10发动机。
"当你审视一级方程式赛车时，还有太多东西值得深入探讨。当然，从车手的角度来看，我想驾驶最好的赛车，我想赢得比赛。但什么才是最好的赛车呢？2002年的赛车在当时是最先进的赛车，它代表了一级方程式赛车所象征的许多东西。
"如今的赛车也是如此，我认为这关乎性能、精准、纪律、勤奋，但也关乎责任和对未来的关怀，而这些赛车正在努力做到这一点。
"从驾驶的角度来看，我可能并不完全认同我们目前规则中的所有内容，但展望未来，我认为这正是有巨大机会让人们参与其中的地方。
"两者不必互相排斥。我认为我们需要找到与一切相关的实践方法，这样我们才能将我们所热爱的事物结合起来。"
维特尔长期以来一直倡导使用合成燃料和电子燃料。尽管F1本赛季转向先进可持续燃料的举措来得太晚，未能与他的赛车生涯重叠，但这位四届世界冠军对这项转变为主宰未来规则所开辟的可能性感到兴奋，这些规则预计将在2030年或2031年回归更大、更响亮的V8引擎。
“我认为可持续燃料是向前迈出的一步，”这位39岁的车手说道。“这不仅对一级方程式赛车，也对激励其他赛车系列赛具有巨大潜力。
“如果你塑造下一代汽车，就有很大潜力以负责任的方式做到这一点，因为有些东西从技术角度来看可能令人难以置信，但可能无法转移到街道上。我认为也有责任这样做。
“我期待未来会带来什么，因为我认为F1拥有许多美好的价值观，这些价值观塑造了我，激励了我的生活，并触动了世界各地的许多人。它拥有这种力量，可以在许多其他有意义和有影响的事情上做到这一点。”
维特尔在F1 2022赛季结束后退出了竞技比赛，但仍定期参加冠军赛（比赛 of Champions）表演赛，他已报名参加一月份在新西兰举行的ROC赛事。

Sebastian Vettel: F1 must combine “things we love” with sustainable future
After driving Michael Schumacher’s 2002 Ferrari at Monza, Vettel argued Formula 1 can preserve performance and spectacle while embracing sustainable fuels and new technology
Sebastian Vettel drives a historic Ferrari
Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel believes Formula 1 has the technology to pair its sustainability goals with an exciting on-track product.
As a racer with a deep-rooted passion for the history of the series, Vettel wasn't the biggest proponent of the turbo hybrids coming into the series in 2014, criticising their dulled sound and the impact of their complexity on the racing product.
After a Ferrari hybrid failure in 2019's Russian Grand Prix, Vettel famously shouted, "bring back the f***ing V12s" on the team radio.
As a prominent environmentalist, Vettel's values and his love for old-school racing long seemed conflictive, but while "not agreeing on everything that we currently have in the regulations", the German also feels the current advances in technology are opening up new opportunities to combine sustainability and excitement in the future.
"I think it is exciting," Vettel said at the Italian Grand Prix, where he drove Michael Schumacher's 2002 Ferrari F1 car, boasting a screaming, full-blooded V10.
"There's so much more to unpack when you look at Formula 1. Of course, from a driver's point of view I want to drive the best car and I want to win races. But then what is the best car? The car of 2002 has been the state of art car at that time and represents so much for what Formula 1 stands for.
"The cars today do the same and I think it's about performance, precision, discipline, hard work but also responsibility and caring about the future, which these cars are trying to do.
"I'm probably not agreeing on everything that we currently have in the regulations from a driving point of view, but looking forward I think that's where there's a huge chance to take people on board.
"One doesn't have to exclude the other. I think we need to find practises with everything so we are able to combine things that we love."
Vettel has long been advocating the use of synthetic and e-fuels. While F1's move to advanced sustainable fuels this season came too late to overlap with his own racing career, the four-time world champion was excited about the possibilities the move opens up for the future regulations, which are set to involve a return to bigger and louder V8s by 2030 or 2031.
"I think sustainable fuels are the step forward," the 39-year-old said. "There's huge potential not just for Formula 1 but also to inspire other racing series.
"If you shape the next generation of car, there's a lot of potential to do so responsibly because some things that may be incredible from a technology point of view might not be transferable to the streets. I think there's also a responsibility to do that.
"I look forward to what the future brings, because I think F1 has so many nice values that shaped me and inspired me in my life and touches a lot of people around the world. It has that power to do so on many other things that are meaningful and impactful."
Vettel retired from competition at the end of the F1 2022 season but still competes regularly at the Race of Champions exhibition event, having signed up to take part in ROC New Zealand in January.
