The paddock in Silverstone is talking about this

WORLD CHAMPIONS ON THE SCHOOL DESK Sustainability is an important topic for Sebastian Vettel. The four-time world champion visited a school in Towcester, just a few kilometers from the Formula 1 track in Silverstone, and talked to the children a lot about the environment. “I was surprised at how well informed they were, better than some adults,” said the Aston Martin driver, who also planted a tree on the site with the students. “It was really inspiring, even though they’re only about XNUMX years old.” PIZZA WITH MICHAEL JORDAN Who have you always wanted to have dinner with? Mick Schumacher was asked this exact question by a young Formula 1 fan. The Haas driver had to think for a while, then he had it: maybe Michael Jordan. After all, the US basketball player was the “greatest in his sport,” said Schumacher. It would be “pretty interesting” to find out how Jordan approached his job. And what would the son of record world champion Michael Schumacher eat with him? He almost said pizza, replied the 22-year-old with a laugh, who of course pays attention to a healthy diet. BODY DOUBLE IN WIMBLEDON Daniel Ricciardo used the short break between the second Austrian race and the British Grand Prix to take a detour to tennis. The Australian McLaren driver attended the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament. “That was a body double, it wasn’t me,” Ricciardo joked. He played tennis as a child, so attending the lawn event was really cool for him. NO BREAK FOR A CHAMPION The Formula 1 drivers completed three races in a row before heading to Silverstone. Fernando Alonso didn't even take a break last weekend when the Grand Prix was off. The Spanish Alpine driver turned laps in an eight-hour kart race in Asturias on his own race track with three friends in his team. “It's a nice way to spend the weekend behind the wheel,” said the two-time world champion, who is now in his fifth racing weekend in a row. RALLY AS A CAREER EXCURSION? Valtteri Bottas is fighting for his job at Mercedes. The Finn wants to drive alongside Lewis Hamilton again next season. However, Williams man George Russell is a serious rival in the fight for the second cockpit. “I plan to keep my seat,” assured Bottas, who also took part in the rally during his time away from Formula 1. “I think I still have a few good years ahead of me.” Would rallying still be a career option for him? “The boys are pretty competitive, they've been doing this their whole lives,” Bottas noted. “Making a job out of that could be pretty tricky.”
