Answer 3

If you haven't won several titles in go carts before you started shaving and haven't done your share of racing in Formula 3000 or GP2... they won't even talk to an unknown.

It takes about 50 MILLION DOLLARS to train a Formula One driver... so if you are a complete unknown, you won't even be able to get a Pit Pass... let alone a ride in a 100 MILLION DOLLAR race car.
