F1 driver Sebastian Vettel calls Alberta oilsands 'a crime' (Globalnews.ca)

Vettel arrived at a practice day with a T-shirt saying 'Stop mining tar sands Canada's climate crime.'

It’s my passion to drive a car, I love it and every time I step in the car I love it. “There’s questions I ask myself every day and I’m not a saint. It is reputed to be the single largest contributor to global carbon emissions, of any company, since 1965,” Savage wrote.

The T-shirt said Stop Mining Tar Sands and, below a picture of a pipeline, added Canada's Climate Crime.

The 2014 visit from Leonardo DiCaprio still lingers in the public memory, as does rocker Neil Young’s campaign against oilsands development. “Every time I step in the car, I love it,” he said. Perhaps a pedal-car for Formula 1?” “There’s so much science around the topic that fossil fuels are going to end, and living in a time that we do now, these things shouldn’t be allowed anymore, and they shouldn’t happen.” Article content
