    Many drivers spend years proving their worth before making it to the big leagues of F1. But some others pay for a fast track. How does the typical F1 drivers' career play out? And how does cash accelerate the process?

    CORRECTION: Super License points are not awarded from race finishes, but on how a driver finishes the season. For example if you finish the Formula 2 championship in 1st-3rd, you'll earn 40 points, 4th earns 30 points, 5th earns 20 and so on. You cannot do it in a single race weekend like I said.

      They were hardly struggling. While not super rich, they also weren't in the "slums" as how Lewis sometimes claims (he's been called out by his community of Stevenage and they released a statement saying that they were disappointed by his claims). He went to a posh private sixth-form college. Lewis was scouted by Mclaren at age 12 or 13. And the guy never had to rough it out in backmarker teams. He debuted when Mclaren were also at their strongest. In a way he's quite privileged in comparison to how most drivers usually start their F1 careers struggling for points.

    There are 20 drivers in F1. I believe 4 have dads who are Billionaires (Malzapin, Stroll, Latifi, Schumacher); And a few more who are multi multi millionaires who own engineering firms (Riccairdo), Financial wizards (Norris), retired racing drivers (Sainz, Verstappenen), Even the 'rags to riches' storyline guys are probably middle class to upper-middle class. Lewis's dad was in IT which pays well. Ocon's dad is a mechanic, but he owns a garage, not some low level hourly worker at a jiffy lube. Have money allows these guys to afford proper carting programs at super early ages, expensive sim rigs to practice on, but doesn't guarantee anything.

    CORRECTION: Damon Hill wasn't rich when he started. All his dad fortune was lost in debts because of his dad's F1 team. He made it through partly on his own, and partly thanks to the connections that had his mum inside the motorsport establishement knowing she knew almost everybody there from the days when she was taking her husband lap times in the boxes at each race. That helped Damon a lot.
    Almost the same for Lauda: his family didn't gave him a single penny to race, but his name helped him for sure to get loanes and help from other drivers and teams that were interested in his family fortune.

  • @the-real-zpero

    Some drivers actually come from very modest families though. I think Hamilton and Vettel did for example.
    And specially Alonso, who's father was a coal mine worker and who's mother was a department store clerk. Supposedly, Alonso's parents couldn't afford rain tyres early on, so he ended up doing some kart races with slick tyres as a kid.

    • @rumblefish9
      @rumblefish9 2 ปีที่แล้ว +75

      Yep. Alonso's dad used to drive him every weekend from their home in Oviedo to his karting races in Italy and they would drive back the many hours while Alonso slept to make it back by Monday for school. They did that until he was old enough to make the journey to Italy alone. They couldnt even afford to have his karts fixed when they broke down and had to fix it himself. At 14 yrs old he won the World Karting Championship on July 14 with the number 14 kart.
      They barely had sponsors and if not for 1 former Spanish F1 driver who used to drive for Minardi, he wouldn't have gotten the sponsorship to move to F3000; where he was scouted by Briatore who then paid for him to drive in Minardi while being with Renault. He then moved to test driver where he tested for Renault and Jaguar.

    Reminded me of the anime "Capeta". A lower class kid that works his way through go-karts to (eventually) formula racing. Topics like finances, tires, racing lines, teams, etc. Recommended watch.

    The only thing that makes me feel a bit better is that Mazespin drives for Haas. If he drove a fast car that would be even more frustrating.

    Isn't this kind of "money talks" dealio what always end up happening with sports, though? Motorsports are particularly notorious for it, with all the shady shit going on in the upper rungs of F1, but it happens everywhere - like the way Qatar paid for the World Cup to be hosted there.

      It's not similar. Footballers themselves are mostly from poor, lower class families. Money doesn't help them to advance in their careers. Lack of money is the reason most pick up playing in the first place.

      @@CloroxBleach-cq7tj what are you on about? Literally, the concept of pay drivers (referred to as the kind of "money talks") is the opposite of all footballers unless you're talking about Qaddafi's sons. Footballers are paid to play, pay drivers pay to play. There is no comparison whatsoever. Qatari federation aren't athletes.

      @@CloroxBleach-cq7tj again, the right comparison would be to compare Qatar with circuits like Baku etc. who are paid by their respective governments to be on the F1 circuit. The players themselves have nothing to do with it.
