Sebastian Vettel organised a karting event for women in Saudi Arabia this week ahead of the country's first Formula One race.
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will take place in Jeddah on Sunday against a backdrop of accusations of "sportswashing" by human rights groups.
One of the controversies is over rights for women, although the country has been quick to point to legislation such as ending the ban on women driving in 2018.
Vettel has been outspoken on political issues at times this year, wearing LGBTQ+ pride colours ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix to protest controversial anti-LGBTQ+ legislation recently passed in that country.
The four-time world champion wanted to do something ahead of Saudi's new race so put together the event for this week, inviting women with a mix of driving experience to take part.
I always thought that Federer and Nadal were the best ambassadors for their sport but man Seb and Lewis are just great at the moment, they are really doing something and are not afraid to upset the bad guys. They are real champions.
