Criticism of Vettel's protests: 'Concentrate on racing'

Christian Danner is a bit fed up with all the protests made by Sebastian Vettel. In Canada, Vettel once again wore a shirt to protest against something and the former F1 driver believes that this does not belong in sport.

Vettel is increasingly using Formula 1 as a platform for his protests. He fights for equal rights of people but is also very concerned with the climate. In Canada, he had planned to wear a helmet to draw attention to the oil drilling in Canada but decided not to wear it due to much criticism.

Protests from Vettel

''It seems to me that he is only in F1 to protest. He should concentrate on racing, that's what he's paid for,'' Danner was critical on ServusTV's Sport und Talk programme.

Vettel's future in F1 is at all uncertain. The four-time world champion's contract with Aston Martin has expired and there are many rumours about him leaving the sport. Danner also thinks that is better. ''Everyone can do what they want, but I'm not sure how long he will be here (in F1),'' the German concludes.
