Lewis didn’t come from money. Yes he was bankrolled from an early age due to his potential but it wasn’t nepotism or wealth that got him started.

It was Ron Dennis' wealth that got him his break though. Without that it seems unlikely his Dad should have got the shekels to push him further. Lewis would still be in "the slums", tomuse his own words, without Ron's wallet.
It always takes someones money in the modern era, if not mummy or daddy then a wealthy benefactor.

More wheels than sense
It's the 'Madring' this weekend with it's banked corner and street track lack of run off .
The F3 test session had 19 red flags so get comfy for a long one on Sunday.

It was 65 years ago today at Monza that the Ferrari of Count Wolfgang von Trips crashed, killing him and resulting in the death of 15 spectators.
