The former Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg Wednesday emphasized the importance of fighting climate change as he seeks to crown his team again in the Extreme-E Rally modality and the drivers are Swedes Johan Kristoffersson and Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky.
This was indicated in a virtual press conference framed on the last day of the 2022 season of that competition for electric SUVs, which will be held in the Uruguayan city of Punta del Este between November 26 and 27.
During the conversation, Rosberg -leader of the Rosberg X Racing team- emphasized the importance of this sport that shows the difficulties the world is going through with climate change and expressed his desire to compete in Brazil in 2023.
“I very much hope that we can run in Brazil, which will be very good, and then tell the story of what can be done to improve. The problem with Amazon is very dramatic and use our sports platform to talk about these issues and The showing those themes would be incredible, it’s why we exist,” he said.
Also, he emphasized the importance of working outside the circuit and said that in the ‘Driven By Purpose’ campaign he will travel with his team to the Italian island of Sardinia – which in 2021 suffered a fire that affected approx. about 20,000 hectares – to plant 3,000 trees.

On the other hand, the Formula 1 world champion in the 2016 season with Mercedes, spoke about the race that will be held in Uruguay and that will mark the end of the sporting year.
He said that the difficulty is always the terrain where you compete and in the next few days he will check it with the pilots by watching a video.
Despite the fact that his team leads the championship with 83 units, two more than its closest rival, X44 Vida Carbon Racing, Rosberg said he is nervous about the next race, which he is not can attend
“We fought with Lewis Hamilton. I didn’t want to finish second behind Lewis Hamilton,” said the former world champion.
