Lewis Hamilton is a staunch critic of inequality, even in Formula 1, which he has repeatedly labeled with the term Billionaire Boys' Club. The seven-time world champion also made his point clear in an interview with Spanish officer AS adding that it is his today a success story in Formula 1 impossible to repeat as it is necessary for this significantly more funding, which only the richest can afford.

Hamilton is therefore of the opinion that Formula 1 should become more accessible also for drivers who they have no financial background, as many racers have in today’s Formula 1. He agrees with him as well Toto wolff, who says motorsport should become more accessible to the wider masses.

Finances are an increasingly important factor in motorsport. Already the season in Formula 3 costs more than a million euros.

Austrian is of the opinion that it is in fact absurdthat already a season in Formula 3 costs at least one million euros: "I think we can make motorsport more accessible to children who don't have such a strong financial background, but are successful in the youth categories."
