Lewis Hamilton is worried about how hard it is for young people to enter motorsports. The costs are just too high, and education is also a big concern.
“It’s just crazy expensive,” he said, noting that the costs have multiplied since his early days. “If I hadn’t been signed by Mercedes and McLaren, I wouldn’t be here today.” His words highlight a growing problem in the sport.
Hamilton’s Concerns About Education
Hamilton has heard stories of kids skipping school to focus on karting. He believes they need something to fall back on if racing doesn’t work out. “You must stay in school and get your education,” he stressed. Most drivers never make it to Formula One, so having other skills is important. But right now, some kids are just practicing all the time instead of learning in school, which Hamilton thinks isn’t good for their future.
Fans might wonder if the sport will change to help these young racers balance both their dreams and education.
As Hamilton approaches 40, he’s preparing for a new adventure with Ferrari next season. After spending many years with Mercedes since 2013, he only has six more race weekends left with them.
What do you think about his concerns?
