Lewis Hamilton is something of an oddity in the sense that he made it to Formula 1 without coming from a wealthy background. And now, Alpine junior Victor Martins is looking to emulate that career path. lewishamilton Alpine Formula1 f1
Considering the costs involved with competing in lower series and karting, Formula 1 is often reserved for those with sponsors, those from wealthy families or those whose parents used to compete.
Hamilton is somewhat of an oddity then as he does not come from a wealthy background and his father, Anthony, worked multiple jobs just to ensure his son could compete. “Hamilton has always been the guy I’m watching but I didn’t have any like proper idols,” Martins said. Martins first joined the French team’s academy in January 2018 when it was the Renault Sport Academy but was dropped the following year. Alpine then reversed their decision after his 2020 Formula Renault Eurocup win.PlanetF1.com recommendsWho is in the Alpine Academy?
