How to pursue career in formula 1 in india, my son is 12 years plz advise?

Question

My son is interested in formula 1 racing, he wants to start his career with this. Please advise how can I assist him training in formula 1> I am residing in Delhi. Is there any training center in Delhi?

Answer 1

Go-Karting is pretty much the standard route of entry into racing for most young people... Buy him a kart and find a track or school where he can learn his racecraft and hopefully get noticed

Answer 2

Both Alonso and Schumacher started off in karting, so get him involved with that. Michael Schumacher's son recently started in karting too.

I would imagine there is a karting track in Delhi, so make some inquires as to when the races are on and go along to watch.

Answer 3

Most Drivers start at Karting level, so get him to the local ring and let him practise...

Most Drivers use the following system in England to get to F1 level...

Karting

Open seat Racing

Formula Ford/Renault

Formula 3000

Formula 3

Formula 3 international

GP 2 / A1 / Indy 500

Formula 1

Answer 4

He's a little bit old to start racing plud he may not be very good at it. It's a fantasy most boys have...go build him a go cart instead.

Answer 5

Yes the person above gave good advice.

Let him start go-karting. Thats how all the greats began

Answer 6

Seriously speaking, No future for Indians in F1, better go for Cricket or Kabadi haha

And u know what , your son should have started 5 yrs back. TOO LATE!!

Answer 7

He's not too old many racers started at 12 but do it now, buy him a kart. Drivers can start as soon as 8 y old but 12 is still ok as long as he starts right now. If he's good he'll draw some attention.
