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. Apologies for the error. - Nolan

Gotta have massive respect for Hamilton's dad for getting him through all that while being in the working class. Prices were probably lesser back then but salaries were less too and i read somewhere he worked 3 jobs but never gave up on his son's passion for racing.
Rossberg's Father helped Hamilton and as soon as sponsors come in you don't pay jackshit and from F4 onwards you get wages and the teams pay your travel, hotel and so on and cars are financed by the teams sponsors

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.
@@geraldfisher6475 but its not like they struggled. Lewis had sponsorships and was scouted by Mclaren and from then on didn't really have to struggle. He never even had to rough it out with backmarker teams while most drivers work their way to better teams.

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.
One of my friends used to drive for 2 f2 teams and his dad had to pay 2 million dollars per season. The information that you are sharing is correct.

Thanks for promoting the SCCA! I started 8 years ago and am now a board member at our local club . It's really great and is a bunch of people into cars that give up their free time to make events happen.
There is a somewhat big error in the video, you don't need 40 points from race result, you need 40 points in 3 years on your super licence. For example, for winning the entire Formula 3 Championship you get 30 points on your super licence.
I was gonna comment the same thing. Further more if you Finnish 1-3 in the F2 championship you get 40 point. The Wikipedia page for Super License have a usable chart with how many SL points you get in the lower categories.
@@paulwallin5311 Yep! There's even videos talking about the chart and the points you can get in different race series that you participate. Chainbear did a video on it, I'll see if I can find it!
EDIT: Found it! ruclips.net/video/gspD20B3DUI/видео.html
It's a massive oversight and compleltey changes the video. Like, shockingly bad... fits considering who the topic is about though I guess.
You don’t get points on your super license, you get them towards it. (40 in 3yrs needed) once you have your license you can accumulate points buts that’s a bad thing as 12 in a year will get you a one race ban
@@DanShvons the points towards getting the super license and the penalty points (the one that leads to a race ban) a driver gets under their super license are two different things

@@mikew8983 Seb on the podium was the best thing for me. The guy had so much negativity in the media. He deserved it!!
@@davihorta5807 hahaha I would have bin a daddy
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.
Thanks for the informative video. I think a lot of people forget that the worst of the worst on that race track may still be better than those they left behind (in other words they have to have some talent in them).
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.
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.
Imo it forces you to actually a better driver with a worse kart which is why they make it to f1

@@donfrancisco2988 Wasn't Schumi's father a carpenter when his son started seriously competing? I think he got to buy a restaurant once his son started earning money...
@@samshaw1443 Lewis went to a posh private sixth-form boarding school and his father owned an IT firm. While not super-rich like Mazepin-rich, he's also not as poor as he says he is.

Great vid as always. I just wanted to point out that the "they pee on their suits" is a lot rarer than his tone suggests. Some drivers say it's almost impossible for them to do so because it's really hard to relax your bladder while driving an F1 car. But it does happen, just not so often as ppl sometimes make it to be
