Sebastian Vettel has been known to be a charitable person. The German has taken initiatives to promote various different purposes for the betterment of society. Vettel retired from the sport too and soon announced his involvement in 2026 regulations. He has been working closely to make the sport more environmentally friendly. However, it all started two years ago when Vettel held a competition for kids in order to make a Bee Hotel at the Red Bull Ring.
Sebastian Vettel first started the making of the Bee Hotel. He held a contest where kids drew an idea for what the hotel would look like. The design that gets chosen will be built near the Red Bull Ring. Soon a racing car turned into a Bee Hotel was placed near the track.
Now the four-time champion is bringing his idea to the Suzuka race track. After earlier announcing that he would be making an appearance for something special, the plan has been revealed. Vettel will be placing 11 bee hives behind the Turn 2 of the Suzuka track.
