    If I remember correctly, Anthony Hamilton had 3 jobs while managing Lewis, & Esteban basically lived in a caravan so his parents could afford him to do karting. Quite amazing the sacrifices they made.

      Lewis has done well with himself, used to live in a council flat with his dad, who had three jobs at one stage to fund his karting., and he also used to do work on the kart at night and they had a used Fiat. Now Lewis lives in Monaco, living his dream of F1, and had several expensive cars

      Both very difficult personalities. We Finns know him from the WRC, but he mostly struggled with our rally drivers like Tommi Makinen and Juha Kankkunen, both 4 time World Championship. In ten years covers most of Sainz Sr. peak moments of rally driving and he won two times which was left over from Tommi and Juha. Sainz Jr. was in Koiranen GP formula team, the finnish team which have had ones like Kvyat, Bottas and Boschung (the driver to whose rear Anthoine Hubert crashed) . Sainz Jr. happened to be in the team same time with Kvyat and these two strong families were really in the war path. Koiranen brothers told that this was best driver pair what comes to the talent, but the worst what comes to the team spirit.

In the place where he was renting his kart, whom owner is the man who discovered Michael Schumacher, he watched him racing and and he talked about him in red bull hq and then the red bull became his sponsor. Just like Lewis Hamilton. His father supported him until the age of 13 when the McLaren took care of him.
