Ruben and Lewis have dreamt of having a place on the Formula 1 circuit for as long as they can remember. They’ve been racing since the age of four and have won hundreds of trophies between them. This year, they are stepping up a gear and entering a race that could make or break their careers.
Breaking into motorsports isn’t easy. Motor racing is an exceptionally expensive sport, with annual costs in the tens of thousands just for go-karting – for cars, the sky is the limit. It is also notably lacking in diversity. Those financial and cultural barriers often stand in the way of new drivers coming onto the track. But Ruben and Lewis’s fathers are dedicated to helping their sons achieve their dreams. They, and their families, are prepared to sacrifice everything to help them make it.
Now, they are stepping up from racing in go-karts to securing seats in professional race cars. It’s time for Ruben and Lewis to deliver on track, get themselves noticed and do their dads proud. Can these determined young drivers beat the odds and prove to the industry that they’re a force to be reckoned with?
