  • Answer:

    Have you even raced anything close to F1? You can't just hop into the pinnacle of racing. You need to be a racer for your entire life, with family racing records to even get close to be a informant for a team. Racing NASCAR, go-cart, or road racing doesn't count. Sorry buddy, but no.

Start with karting. If you're good enough, someone will sponsor you and send you to europe to compete in junior series. Most F1 drivers competed in GP2 or formula 3 and became champions in that category. There are lots of steps to be taken. F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport and getting there is no walk in the park. A lot of GP2 champions didn't make it to F1. However, if you have millions of bucks to spare, you could try to become a pay driver in one of the small teams.

Sorry but no. Drive go-carts at a young age, or be very posh like JB or very gokd like FA/LH.
