Formula 1 driver Sebastian Vettel scathingly criticised prime minister Boris Johnson for breaking his own Covid-19 laws in the partygate scandal and called Brexit a ‘mess’ in his surprise appearance on BBC1’s political debate programme Question Time.
In regards to Brexit, Vettel said he feels pro-Leave politicians and voters are ‘missing the bigger picture’ around international cooperation and said the UK was now dealing with the ‘consequences’ of the simplistic ‘get Brexit done’ slogan.
‘Obviously I’m not familiar with all the exact details, but in the bigger picture, now you’re in this mess, you’ve got to deal with it,’ the four-time world champion said. ‘Sometimes I’m sitting and I’m listening to this and I’m thinking you’re missing the bigger picture. You’re speaking about the energy costs earlier and the bigger picture is clear that for the future it is not sustainable to pump oil, gas and coal out of the ground.
‘The solution is you have to do the shift moving forward and in a way it’s the bigger picture. Obviously there was a push three little words ‘get it done ‘ or ‘get Brexit done’ and this is the consequences you deal with now.’ Vettel won his four F1 titles with Red Bull between 2010-13, and joined Aston Martin for the 2021 campaign after spending six seasons with Ferrari.
