Cancel Russian Grand Prix – Vettel

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel says the Russian Grand Prix should be cancelled – and he will not be there if the race goes ahead.

Russian forces have invaded Ukraine on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is closely associated with his country’s F1 race.

Vettel, who drives for Aston Martin, said: “I should not go, I will not go. It is wrong to race in the country.

SPONSOR AD

“I am sorry for the innocent people who are being killed for stupid reasons.”

He added he was “shocked” by events in Ukraine, and his decision not to race in Russia was “already made”.

The Russian Grand Prix is scheduled to take place in Sochi on 25 September.
