Drawing trees intended to be a mental health break from the man himself:
"The drawings are very different," Vettel smiles. "Some put in a lot of effort, others took it more light-hearted, but it’s great that the drivers have also been supportive. We’ve been able to collect all of them, which gave us a good picture and mix, and then mixing that up with everybody else is doing exactly what I wanted to do." "There’s no ideal tree, and I didn’t want to have a template to just go after or color in. It’s really about your personal tree, or your imagination. The beauty of it is that it’s so diverse, just like a real forest, which thrives if it’s very diverse. So, I think there’s a lot of analogies in the project and what we’re trying to express." "I think for those couple of minutes, or that moment, the drivers were able to get away. That was great to see, because it was the same with the kids. They’re in their regular environment, in school or where they live, and just by being able to imagine something different on paper and express it, you’re able to get away." "I was joking… I think it was with Red Bull, when Max Verstappen was really into his tree, and the team around him were like, ‘We have an interview, we have an interview!’ But he was zoned in, and this is the most important thing." "So, like the kids being kids, and the same thing at the ‘F1FOREST’ station, there were just so many smiles. I do strongly believe that people take something from that. You don’t need to ask them tonight, ‘Okay, how much do you take from Seb’s action?’ People take the experience, the smiles, the moment out of their day, and we captured that."
