One sure way to not become an F1 driver is to not try at all. The 5 billion starting point is way too high. Who knows the true number? We can only count people who start a motorsport career with the serious intent that F1 is their goal, and that would be a lot less than 5 billion.

I'm from Finland and I'm so damn proud about what this small country has achieved in this sport from 90s to current day. Mika Häkkinen, Mika Salo, Kimi Räikkönen, Heikki Kovalainen and Valtteri Bottas were all people who were able to hit the jackpot! These guys definitely didn't have rich parents to pay their career, no. It was all about being good at something, trusting in yourself and just working your butt off to get yourself there. Of course being in right place at the right time with right people, so it's also luck but still..

It would be more relevant if you calculated the odds of becoming an F1 driver among those who tried carting instead of the majority of world population. There is a pretty big difference between having some sort of interest in motorsport and actually try to pursue a racing career.

My calculations should be taken with a grain of salt as it’s impossible to know exact numbers for most parts but I based it on how they calculate odds of winning the Powerball. Hope you enjoyed the video ❤️

@DailyFuelUp - Good video. The actual odds, while still extremely long (100 millions) would need to be discounted by at least 50% up to maybe 75% to take into account the drastic variability of pay and partial pay (sponsorship) drivers within Formula 1. To this day in both F1 and GP2 outright direct pay, and driver-specific sponsorship are critical factors in whether or not one can advance into and sustain a seat at the Formula 1 level. The exception (of course) is pure natural talent - if one is a Schumacher, or Hamilton, or Verstappen.

I believe sim racing is the future for driver development, and getting them ready for the real thing, it's a lot cheaper and the simulation is getting closer to real life every year. So far Max Verstappen is the only one who's aware of how useful sim racing can be for real life and is actually planning to make a drivers development project around it

@kevinprengemann7456

I believe it is still far off real life racing. Neither Hamilton nor Schumacher liked it. Though in Schumachers time he could test without limitation and real driving / real life tests will always be superior to any sim. Nowadays testing is heavy limited and possibly at some point sims will be close to real life indeed.

Its really sad not many ppl speak about the dark side of F1 and brush it under the rug. In todays F1 vast majority come in to the sport either through their own wealth or through legacy connections. Legacy connections are someone who have a family member already been in F1 hence the path to F1/racing is much easier for such drivers and these drivers include Max Verstappen and Mick Schumacher to name as examples. Then you have drivers whose families can afford to sponsor their career and these drivers include Lando Norris, Nikita Mazepin and Lance Stroll. Ofcourse after Lando proved himself McLaren paid back the money paid by Norris family. Then you have drivers of the 3rd kind who basically come from nothing and are backed by legit sponsors whose sponsorship conditional upon their performance targets and drivera include Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel.

Formula Racing should have rules in place where only pure talent matters not money. It would make the sport tear the sky.

Because it’s almost impossible to be born into a family with the interest and the money to make it happen. No one becomes an F1 driver through talent and hard work alone.

F2 champions except the last 2, havee 100% chance to have seat in the f1.

Well none of us come from super wealthy families, so that’s a great deal of those odds.

The only hope would be to get richer and then purchase and own a Formula 1 car and drive it on real world circuits.

yep its all about the £. I have a mate who is brutally fast - whenever we go karting he wipes the floor with everyone. But he got hammered by the guys who threw endless wads at it. Even Senna, for all his brilliance would likely to of had to settle for being an exceptionally fast bus driver had his family not been rolling in it. Funny how they help support women coz they have different body parts when thats not the issue. Its a lack of cash - regardless of gender. (not taking away the skill some of these guys have, but we need to put it in perspective)
