Some drivers might start out a bit later, but they’ve probably had professional karting experience by the time they’re teenagers.
Most F1 drivers start go-karting at around the age of 6. I hate to break it to you, but if you’ve just started karting, you’re probably too late compared to F1 drivers.
So, let’s compare the data of racing legends so that you can judge whether you’re too old for F1. That being said, you might be young enough to hop on the journey to Formula 1. This means that I will not become an F1 driver any time soon. Becoming an F1 driver takes many years of racing experience and successful go-karting background. The chances of that happening, though, are incredibly slim. It’s definitely possible to become a Formula 1 driver in your 30s. When I saw Max Verstappen winning the 2021 F1 season at only 24 years of age, I wondered whether it’s possible to become an F1 driver at any age or not.Īfter discussing it with my karting friends and some racers at a karting meet during the weekend, I came to a simple conclusion. Every avid go-karting fan has dreamed of becoming an F1 driver.
Nowadays, my love of go-karting fueled my passion for Formula 1. Like most kids, I watched F1 alongside my dad for a couple of years before I got into my teenage years.
