I have a friend whose 17 year old son drives for McClaren with Jarett Andretti in the Pirelli GT4 series over here, been to a few of his races and always get pit passes and all access so its a great insight into racing!!  This lad is a really good prospect but his dad is basically financing everything he does currently but is now at the end of the road with regards to financing it.  So he needs a good sponsor to take his career any further and that is really tough to do.  I am not aware of how Hamilton got to F1 but at some point someone he knew was able to finance it and that seems to be a huge difference between those who make it and those that don't!!

Here is a picture at the last race I saw him at the Las Vegas Speedway.



I actually like the fact that Hamilton doesn't flaunt his private life as much as others do, there is a lot of mystery surrounding him but in this age of social media thats not a bad thing!!

In the next couple of years we will see Leclerc and Verstappen fighting it out, but that assumes that Ferrari and Red Bull can get there cars up to the level of the Silver Arrows!!
