Recently, the Ferrari driver revealed that he took a page out of Hamilton’s book and followed a vegan diet in 2018. Lewis Hamilton swears by the diet and insists that the switch changed his life. He assured that he feels fresher and more energetic, while also doing his part to help save the environment.
So, Sebastian Vettel felt that he has to give it a shot as well. Admittedly the German driver did not uphold it for very long, however he altered a few things in his life.

Speaking to Swiss newspaper Blick, he revealed that he tested out Hamilton’s vegan diet in 2018. He continued, “It lasted about six weeks and I learned a lot from it. I have studied the subject intensively and there is no real diet. Everyone is different, everybody reacts differently.”
“But I now eat less meat and pay more attention to the quality of the products, which is relatively easy in Switzerland. There are now also more vegetables on my plate.”
In spite of abandoning the diet, Sebastian Vettel is still trying to highlight environmental issues. He is hopeful that everyone can help make the world a better place for future generations.
Interestingly, he was also asked about environmental activist Greta Thunberg and hypothetically meeting her. That was when his funny bone kicked in and he cheekily suggested that she may not want to meet him.
On a more serious note, he admitted that for her, he is not a role model owing to his occupation. However, he was pleased to hear that the youth are committed to the cause.
