How do i get started racing formula 1?

sadly, little asking "how retire rich?" , asking @ age 60. yes, if across history of man kind can find people didn't start business until 80 , managed retire billionaires... not norm. , (going actual question) can find occassional person managed f1 late starts or following non-conventional routes, these few , far between, , it's possible remote chances belong earlier age.

conventional route born lot of talent , lot of money, start karting @ age 6 or 7. win national championship or 2 before age 15, can set @ low level feeder series @ age 15... , have few more championships , @ least few personal sponsorships totaling @ least millions dollars year age 18. , then, it's still long shot.

while have plus of not being complete novice, amazingly behind curve... such realistically have 3-6 year window need rise high level feeder series (and lots of wins and, ideally, championship or 2 name). if have natural talent , can afford mount such development program (even if unnaturally skilled @ self-marketing, still need cover $2 million+ each year close f1).

you're immediate route move europe, appropriate fia competition license, hire regarded driving coach f1 experience , other needed support staff, , going in formula renault or bmw. realistically have as full season comfortable , try polish natural talent, year 2 need winning , doing enough can attract major sponoship (or prepared fund more of $4-5 million annual costs you'll have following year when need step level).

long can keep paying bills , keep winning, may able offer f1 test... @ point need impressive driver (and able offer team $20-30 million dollars in personal sponsorships).

i have raced sprint cars 4 years , i'm 17 know race , competitive. saw 1 guy started when 19 bicycle racing experience. how start career getting f1 drivers seat?
