Lewis Hamilton scolds 'ridiculous' racing concern: 'There's no accountability'

Lewis Hamilton has publicly criticised the rising costs of junior motorsport, calling the situation 'ridiculous' and stating there is 'no accountability' from those running the sport. Hamilton, who was signed by McLaren at age 13 and whose father remortgaged the house to fund his early career spending around £20,000 in his first year, highlighted how costs have skyrocketed, citing an example of someone spending over one million dollars a year for an eight-year-old child. The seven-time world champion argued that steps must be taken to make motorsport more financially accessible to aspiring young drivers.
