To whoever disagreed with me, how can you honestly think Lando would of been able to ever showcase his talent if his Mum and Dad were 'poor'...and by poor i mean not being worth millions....
If he was born with natural talent even, he'd not be able to to be showing his skills right now...without loads and loads of money to burn through and the right connections...
Of course you're right, but that just is the way, motorsport in general, and F1 in particular has always been.
F1 always has been about the show. It is called a circus for a reason. The circus having the "best drivers in the world" is just part of the show.
If F1 were all about talent, and it being passed on from one generation to the next, as somehow magically happens in F1, we should then also see the siblings of tennis players, football players, pole jumpers, and track and field athlets following their famous mothers and fathers, and making a name for themselfs. But somehow, that just doesn't happen, at all.
The real questions should rather be, how can anyone be so innocent as to really believe in all this?
I mean, we all know, that wrestling is a show. How comes, that many people do not reckon, that F1,
for a significant part, also is a show, made to suit sponsors and audience a like.
For raw and unfiltered talent, we would have to watch an international bar exercises tournament. But bar exercises does not provide much of a show, does it?
