Look no farther than Stroll, Latifi and Mazepin. Do they deserve their seats on the grid if their daddy didn't drop a major chunk of change on the teams?

I am not the only one saying this. Lewis already said the same thing. It's like a million dollars to run a season of F2, about half a million or so for a season of F3. quarter of a million for F4. That's about 2 million dollars minimum to go from  karting up to F1 if they are lucky and doesn't have to repeat a level.

Our own driving academy is trying to develop drivers too, from karting up. The instructors are all in their 20s, but their racing career are pretty much stopped on the track atm as getting to the next level up requires a major outlay of cash and the care in need of many sponsors.
