F1, Vettel: 'Proud to have worn LGBT jersey in Hungary'

 "The LGBT jersey I wore before the Hungarian GP? I am proud to have done it, we cannot be silent on human rights". Interviewed by the BBC, the former Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, now at Aston Martin and therefore very popular in the British media, returns to talk about the pro Lgbt shirt, with the writing "Same Love" and the colors of the rainbow, worn (with mask, always rainbow) during the opening ceremony of the Hungarian Grand Prix on 1 August last. On that occasion, Vettel also knelt in solidarity with the 'BlackLivesMatter' movement.

    "Are we talking about politics when we talk about human rights? I don't think so - says the German driver -. I think there are some topics on which you can't lower your head or say: 'It doesn't concern me, we don't talk about this'. topics are so big that they belong to the whole world and everyone must be aware of them. " The four-time world champion then explains that he wanted to send this message because, in the weeks before the GP, the Hungarian government had approved a law that limited the sharing with minors of any content that promotes homosexuality. "I remembered reading that the current government does not have the most progressive views on this - Vettel's explanation - and therefore theidea of ​​promoting this moment before the competition to launch certain messages. I thought it was a good opportunity to send a small signal and I'm proud of it. "
