The comic stars Sebastian Vettel who has, Aston Martin teammate, Lance Stroll as his sidekick. Interestingly, its antagonist is a clear reference to F1 CEO, Stefano Domenicali. It has the tagline of, “Gasoline Brother by day, Eco Avenger by night!”. The story is also set to have a sequel.
In recent times, Vettel has been a massive advocate of ecological and socio-political issues. He has made F1 a platform for spreading awareness. Furthermore, this comic book is a step in the same direction. All the fans have also had a great reaction towards it.
The comic also gives us a glimpse of the origin story of ‘Sensible Man’ on the first page which reads, “Once just an average four-time Formula One World Champion until a freak accident involving an experimental KERS, a poorly designated wet floor and 17 Jagerbombs.”

One fan gave his suggestion as to what he would like to see in the next edition of the comic.
The Red Bulletin comic describing Seb as someone "[a] holder[] of a sensible middle ground in which reason, humanism and a keen sense of collective responsibility hold sway." 😭😭😭
Also I think that's Helmut Marko turned into a cat. Which would be an improvement. https://t.co/6O2tWqSu14— Bee (@bee_chicory) July 9, 2022
