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

If you win F2 and F3, you're no longer allowed to remain the the series. When Lando Norris won F3 in 2017, he's automatically qualified to be in F1, but he can no longer stay in F3. He came in second in F2 2018 to George Russel, who became ineligible to race in F2 anymore.

@Big Joe S. You also forgot to mention he came 2nd in gp3, in 2018,which I think would have also allowed him to gain superlicense points as this still fell within the 3 year period

"It's not unheard of to see a bone stock Yaris beat Mustangs, Camaros and even Corvettes. It's all about the driver, not the car." _The very next sentence_ "There's also spec Miata racing, you can get started there about 5000$. You probably won't win because top cars spent upwards of about 100K$ on their rides." So which one is it about, the car or the driver?

Other viable options for motorsports participation are Time Trial and Hillclimb. Time Trial you're on actual road courses (not cone-filled parking lots a la autox) and driving for best time, not best position. SCCA, Gridlife, and NASA have very good programs, though NASA has a more complicated power-to-weight classing structure. Ever watch a tarmac stage rally? That's Hillclimb. Risks are higher, but it's still as accessible as TT. If you just want to get on the track with an unprepped car and turn some laps at your own pace at a non-competitive event? SCCAs Track Night in America is your answer. Lastly, side comment: it's funny when people ask me, "Do you win anything?" I tell them you don't get paid to race. You pay. Like financially, it's a net loss, every time. The general public has very little insight into the workings of amateur racing and what's required of amateur drivers.

You do not need to complete 300 hours to get a Super License. The 300 hours is for drivers who have already held a Super License.

It was great to see Mazepin do some defending in Baku, that safety car was right in his mirrors for lap after lap, great job avoiding the overtake there. Also he almost killed his teammate.

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.

Can you do a video about how less rich people make it to f1? Because I heard danny ric talk about his rise to f1 and it sounded quite alot different to this, like do driver academies sponsor you to compete in f4, f3 etc..

At least daddy Dimitry cares about his son. Like daddy Lawrence to Lance. Also, indeed as shown in the video, in the old days, before the Concorde Agreement and the Super License days, if you're rich enough, you can just buy an F1 car, something like a Maserati 250F or a Ferrari and run as a privateer. You might also saw some royalties racing in the sport, like Prince Bira of Siam, at that time. Now you can't do that since every team that wants to run the world circus has to get their car built by themselves, although you can outsource it (Haas has Dallara making the cars), you still have to throw money to build the car, and cannot just buy one from an existing team.

You're doing well with educating Americans on Formula 1; but to say the drivers "pee in their suits" isn't a point you should share the way you did. It came across as a fact that most on the grid do that. It has happened yes; but its more in the case of endurance racing/rally racing, not formula one.
