Vettel's vindictive helmet in Turkey after Saudi Arabia's announcement in 2021
GAYLES.TV.- Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) surprised everyone in the Turkish Grand Prix for the rainbow flag on his helmet. With the motto #TogetherAsOne the German pilot claimed the rights of the group LGTB + in a country where despite the fact that homosexuality is legal since 1858, repression has been on the increase in recent years as a result of a highly conservative society.
The gesture has been greatly applauded in the paddock and by a large part of his fans. Although there are flashes, the claims in the sports world are scarce, and less in personalities as significant on an international scale as Hag. Throughout the weekend he participated with this helmet design in which the flag of Germany has been removed for the first time to replace it with the flag LGBT +. In addition, on the sides of the helmet the diversity between humans is supported.
