Formula One Twitter fans shared their love and appreciation towards Sebastian Vettel’s interview with Europe’s LGBTQ Attitude magazine.
Sebastian Vettel is a strong LGBTQ+ community supporter. He has led his voice emphasizing equality in the F1 paddock throughout his journey in motorsport.
The four-time world champion made quite an impact at the Hungarian Grand Prix last year. He wore a pride-themed face mask and shirt prior to the start of August’s F1 Grand Prix of Hungary.
The German donned the rainbow colours protesting against Hungary’s LGBTQ+ legislation. According to him, he did not feel embarrassed by what people thought about him or the shirt’s message of ‘Same Love.’
Vettel felt that it was the right thing to do as he wanted to raise awareness and share his support for it. He also drove with a rainbow-coloured theme helmet and racing shoes.

A friend once told me they thought they couldn’t be an ally because they “didn’t know enough”. So as a #LGBTQ+ woman, I love Sebastian Vettel’s simple approach.
You don’t need to know everything to be an ally – the important thing is to listen and be open to learn 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ #Pride https://t.co/zWzJIoWKqc

Given that motorsport is hosted in countries where being Gay is still illegal and hideously punished – thank you @sebastianvettel & @AttitudeMag 🏳️🌈👊🏎 https://t.co/aFJ83AjSMW
