Nowadays, many pilots from the new school have expressed their feelings and the effort that it takes to reach the highest category of motorsport. Shows and interviews are often the outlets for these young drivers to emphasize the money their families spend and the hours they practice.
Mark Webberthe legendary driver of the team Red Bullwho is the current manager of Oscar Piastri, has questioned the laments of young pilots on the ‘Performance Hackers’ podcast: “Let’s not beat around the bush, they are paying you a good sum of money for doing a very, very phenomenal job and that’s not a burden“.
“I have never talked of sacrificespeople talk that he has given up a lot yeso is a real asshole ***“.
