Vettel will use carbon-neutral fuel to drive Nigel Mansell's 1992 title-winning car at Silverstone on Sunday. Using the iconic red No. 5 FW14B.

Vettel revealed on Thursday that the fuel would have no impact on Williams' cars, arguing that running historic racing cars in a more environmentally friendly way is important to keeping these cars and history alive.

He said: "I'm looking forward to having a lot of fun and I hope people can share in that fun because I think it's an incredible car and the history of the car and the sound of it, I'm looking forward to it ."

"You'll see it on Sunday, it's no different than the car it was 30 years ago, it sounds exactly the same, it's going to drive the same way and I'm going to try to enjoy it as much as I can. It's possible to drive fast and remember it's my car."

"I think it's going to be fun and I think it's going to be great to show people that motorsport is our passion and it's something we grew up with. The cars I dreamed of as a kid are different than some other drivers, but it's important to find a way that we can do something responsibly in the future and keep these cars alive. In the end, you can express culture in a lot of ways. , music, art, but the way we express ourselves is driving, racing, and it would be a shame if that all went away"

"I think it's a way to stay alive and look to the future, 2026 f1. It will go in that direction. I think it's a good way to put it all together and have fun,"

Vettel said that was his idea and that he wanted to celebrate the car that won the championship and the British Grand Prix. 30th anniversary racing.

He purchased the FW14B Chassis 08, which was sold by Bonhams at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Chassis 08 was used in 13 of the 16 World Championship races in 1992, taking seven pole positions. "It was my idea, the car I bought a few years ago," Vettel said.

"Obviously I had the number 5 on the car and I won my first championship with the red number 5, even though at the time Our car was smaller, but it was still number 5. My kart was also number 5. I think the early 90s were my first memories of Formula 1 and the years after that. The idea, I think, is that it would be nice to run a track here exactly 30 years after it won the championship with "

" but I also think we have to do it in a responsible way, so I'm talking about it in the week. Japan uses carbon neutral fuel to prove that we can still hold on to our history, heritage and culture in motorsport, but do it in a more responsible way, so I'm very much looking forward to driving this car for the first time and doing it. Hearing the sound of this car, I think many people will share this joy with me.”
