Formula 1 is the world's most prestigious motor sport and brings together the world's best drivers. However, there are too many challenges to get into the sport and be successful.
In recent years, the careers of young drivers entering Formula 1 have started to come to an end in a short time. This is because young drivers sit behind the wheel of an F1 car without doing much testing.
Mika Hakkinen, who won two Formula 90 championships in the late 1s, also draws attention to this issue and states that it is not easy to be a rookie nowadays.
“The general situation today is very difficult for young drivers,” Hakkinen told Sport1.de. said. “Things are not easy for young drivers. It used to be mine zamAt the moment, there was much more testing and enough for the pilots to improve themselves by working with the team. zamIt was a moment.”
“There are almost no tests now, you just spend time in the simulator and are evaluated accordingly.”
“It is very difficult for young drivers to show that they are making progress and that they are really good.”
“There are so many things you need to put together.”
“I joined McLaren. zammoment team is enough for me to improve zamHe gave me the moment.”
“Today you have to be successful on your first try, otherwise you will be eliminated.”
Hakkinen's comments highlight the challenges faced by young drivers in Formula 1. Young drivers need to put in a lot of effort and be very skilled to be successful.
