Costs incurred in developing a driver for Formula 1 Here's a resource thread for web articles on the costs incurred in developing a driver for Formula 1, starting from karting.
Admittedly, these costs are in foreign countries and the articles are a bit dated.
But the costs are steep for anyone in any country.
Hope that someone who is seriously considering embarking on this journey finds this useful in their preparation.
Cheers,

Are you aware of how much it can cost to raise a Formula 1 driver? Lewis Hamilton has spoken out recently about the lack of diversity in F1, with the price of getting into the sport often restricting people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and ultimately pricing them out of competing. It raises the question over whether F1 is doing enough to include people from diverse backgrounds. https://www.raconteur.net/business-i...to-formula-one The $8 million road to F1

Searching on the internet Ex1 ( https://www.raconteur.net/business/t...to-formula-one) , reading some reddit posts Ex2 ( https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/co...o_obtain_a_f1/) made it really clear that it is really expensive and most likely just a sport where only rich are found doing it.
Just wanted to know if there are any changes in any of the rules or way things happen to become a F1 Driver. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/co...o_obtain_a_f1/
