Remember:

The world of motorsport is tough, unforgiving, and formed on the foundations of money.
In order to become a top-level F1 driver, you must be prepared to invest some money of your own. If you know where to spend it though, we can keep it at only a few thousand. A driver's salary would pay that all back before you can blink
You must be able to accept defeat. A sportsman does not give up at their first failure. If you gave up at your first failure, you wouldn't be able to stand on your own two legs. Literally.
Be prepared to sacrifice leisure time (i.e. weekends) travelling to race meetings. Of course, racing is just as fun.

Disclaimer: Motor races are dangerous and accidents can happen. Whilst there have been no F1 deaths since 1994, a driver must be aware of all risks.
