Now, there's two types of people that I really can't stand, hypocrites and slow drivers.

And last weekend, Canadians were treated to a two-in-one package when Sebastian Vettel showed
0.89
00:00:08.300
up to the Canadian Grand Prix wearing a t-shirt that said, Stop Mining Tar Sands Oil, Canada's
00:00:14.340
Climate Crime. Now, Sebastian Vettel finished the race on Sunday, 44 seconds behind the winner,
00:00:19.800
Max Verstappen. And to his credit, Sebastian Vettel used to be fast. He used to be quite a
00:00:23.880
good racer. But now he's slower around the track than the customs line at Pearson Airport.
00:00:27.760
Sebastian Vettel races for a team called Aston Martin Racing. One of Aston Martin's biggest
00:00:33.680
sponsors is Aramco, Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil producer and the company responsible
00:00:40.760
for 4% of global carbon emissions. Yes, one company responsible for 4% of the global carbon
00:00:47.980
emissions. A man sporting the Aramco logo on his helmet and on his jacket of the race and on his
00:00:54.020
car said that it would be a good idea for a foreigner visiting Canada as a guest of our
00:00:58.580
country to attack our oil sands production, to attack our clean production while sporting the
00:01:04.300
logo of bloodstained Saudi Arabian oil manufacturers. Now, I think it's fair that we expect our athletes
1.00
00:01:10.800
not to be the brightest bulbs in the box, not to be the smartest people around. But as soon as they
00:01:16.080
decide to attack the country they are visiting as a guest and engage in activism, they better be able
00:01:21.320
to answer for that. They better be able to answer for the fact that this man is making $15 million a
00:01:26.800
year off of the back of a Saudi Arabian bloodstained oil manufacturer in Aramco. Now, he was asked about
00:01:34.000
his protest in a press conference. Now, just listen to the hypocrisy of this low IQ race car driver.

I do a lot of reading on the subject because I find this, yeah, fascinating might be the wrong word,
00:01:46.280
but it's, you know, there's a lot going on. And I think we live in a time and age where
00:01:54.200
So he does a lot of reading on the subject and we live in a time and an age where we
00:01:57.900
are so much aware of a lot of things. Shakespearean one might say.
00:02:01.140
I think, you know, what happens in Alberta is a crime because you chop down a lot of trees
00:02:08.920
and you basically destroy the place just to extract oil. And the manner of doing it with
00:02:16.360
the tar sands mining or oil sands mining is horrible for nature. And obviously Canada's
00:02:22.340
greenhouse gas emissions also have gone up since they started doing it.

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be

00:02:40.800
considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Now, I think it's clear that Sebastian Vettel's attempt at activism is just a really,
0.86
00:02:50.860
is really just a sad attempt to try and stay relevant. After watching that clip, it's pretty
00:02:54.280
clear that Vettel is as slow in his head as he is in the race car. Time to hang it up, I think.
