How to Buy Your Way Into Formula 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2024
- Does Lance Stroll genuinely earn his place in Formula 1? I'm diving into the journey of Lance Stroll, a racer whose path to the pinnacle of car racing was significantly accelerated by his billionaire father's support.
From his early karting days to securing a spot on the F1 grid, I'll examine the investments and decisions that made his career possible. Amidst the debate over 'pay drivers,' I'm taking a closer look at what Stroll brings to the table. Through insights and analysis, I'm tackling the crucial question: Is Lance Stroll there on merit?
Join me as I explore the talent and controversy surrounding one of the sport's most discussed figures.

Me: Daddy please buy me a kart.
Lance: Daddy please buy me an F1 team.
Such a sad story that this has happened as they are plenty of talented drivers who deserve a seat I cannot understand as to why Aston Martin shareholders do not step in Aston Martin have decent car look at what Alsono has achieved just imagine with two awesome drivers who achieve
Lawrence: But for the championship you have to win the final bosses, Vettel and Alonso emerge
he is the guaranteed safety car on the arabian GP.
99.9% of humans out there : Daddy, I'm hungry
living in a bubble worried about BS ! We don't love our species colleagues ?
You: Daddy stop touching me. Your daddy: No im cumming inside you boy😂
i came for a tutorial, not for a story
lol
@@NiceBaconNiceNice ur stalking me 💀
Step one: have billions, step 2: do what Lawrence did

*you* clicked onto a 12min tutorial?
watching this after that shitty chinese gp, "there was nowhere to go" and proceeds to go under daniels car, such a nepo baby its unreal
paying attention and breaking apparently was too hard a task for him.
damn, Max already showed his dominance in 2011💀
With a dad like his no wonder
Agree. Best dad ever. Too bad yours probably came short in your childhood so you project your jealousy onto comments in YT. That's ok. We understand.@@carlosgoden4424
@@carlosgoden4424 XD you're funny. Max destroys everyone
There is a reason he is the youngest F1 driver ever😂
@@cursed2322 that’s why he’s the 🐐
We are now post-China GP, and this has aged like fine wine.
the photo of him beeing a kid with his current teamate is so lol
Have literally zero clue about F1 but still watched because I love drama
Lance isn't THAT bad, definitely doesn't deserve a place in that team though. Maybe Kick Crypto Gambling Stake Sauber will have a spot for him.
He's terrible and would never have made it to the premier class without daddy's cheque book.
@@razgriz380 He's definitely not terrible, just not top 5 F1 team good. On the other hand there probably are better drivers that deserve his seat more but he's definitely good enough for a back of the pack team.
@@_Tp___ I'm sorry but I have to disagree. He's average at best and frankly when it comes to the premier class that's not good enough. The point of F1 is the best drivers duking it out, some with better machinery of course, but skill is paramount to move to better machinery. Stroll doesn't fit either category, little skill and only moves up in equipment quality thanks to daddy buying him a team to mould around and he still manages to come off second best to a significantly older driver. He needs to retire and take up the tennis dream of his, where he will likely be just as talentless but that's the problem of Wimbledon etc. Let someone with a future take the seat.
@@razgriz380 I did used to agree but he has pulled off some solid, not extraordinary, but decent races so like I said he isn't good enough to drive in his current team. On the issue of pay drivers I completely agree they shouldn't be there and someone with more raw talent should be there but unfortunately F1 is dominated by money.
@@razgriz380 He is a former F3 European champion and got enough superlicense points to earn the license. If he is that bad like you are shit talking him, then he wouldnt have a f1 license. Btw. what are your earnings in motorsport besides beeing a hater with no knowledge?
We shaped the world where money can buy anything
99% of sport is like this. Capitalism ruins everything. National teams competing fixes some of the issues, but any private league, so all of motorsports, suffers from this
Who’s we😭it was never in our control. Even if we wanted it to be
Money cannot buy skill though
Unfortunately that appears to be correct in some areas but also talent is required in FI
@@wile123456Even under socialism or communism you get corruption like this.
Why are people hating on the video / channel in the comment section? Lance would absolutely be out of F1 if it wasn't for his dad. This is the most obvious thing for multiple years... Great content, as always!
He's good enough to be in F1 just not enough to be teammates with Alonso lol
@@Carlos-ln8fd there are plenty of drivers in the world good enough to be in F1. Lance is not in the top of that list nor he's marketable (Like Ric or Sargeant). No team would offer him a seat, there would be absolutely nothing to gain with Lance without daddy's money
@@Carlos-ln8fd No he isn't, because there is multiple F2 drivers waiting to get in more competent than him. Get rid of the trash so new talent can develop
@@wile123456 do you really think he's the worst in the grid?
@@Carlos-ln8fd Just by sheer amount of years of experience, he's car from the worst in the grid. But at the same time, it's reasonable to expect better results now that he is a veteran driver. That's why in my opinion F1 is not the place for him: we know too well now what he could accomplish sometimes but even more what he can't in diverse situations. It's quite clear that the risk to reward ratio would be much more promising with new talents in those limited F1 seats than with someone that's consolidated as a "meh" driver
I actually feel bad for Lance. I see this being about his father living his own F1 dream vicariously through his son.
Agreed. Maybe this is why Prema has decided to enter IndyCar. Stroll Sr. knows his son can't survive in F1 for much longer and wants him racing somewhere deciding to bankroll this effort.
@@scsmith4604 The Aston Martin team will be sold by 2026. Honda is coming and there is a great Japanese F1 driver looking for a seat. We know the history of how that works. Someone will get the toss and it won't be Alonso.
Honda has already forgiven him for the GP2 engine comment.
@@scsmith4604 no disrespect for indy
But he could join valkyrie seats at le mans
Valid assumption but still an assumption
Could be worse, he could have had Jos Verstappen for a dad....
the designers at AM said they want to add new parts for miami and redesign the software,
Lawrance said "on both cars?" the designer said "cars? no we mean your son"
tbh I find it hard to get animated about Stroll when most drivers on the grid wouldn't be there if they didn't come from extreme wealth. It's just in his case it's a bit more explicit.
Good point.
@@Notavailable375 Yes, A fair point, but if that team would be determined to be a liability, A lot of money is just waiting to buy this team and put 2 Good drivers in the seats.
LH isn't rich like him
@@SimonK3113one of the very few
It’s not how he got his seat, it’s that he can’t lose it. Many drivers get a seat through wealth, but if they perform like shit they still usually get dropped. Stroll’s teammates will always lose their contracts, no matter how well they perform, so long as stroll is on the team
You should do a story about matt mingays crash. He died on the track twice, got resuccitated, faced several facial injuries and brain damage and continued to drive and stunt bikes months later. He has a documentary.
Occasionally flashes of excellence but on the whole not consistent enough. F1 becoming ever more financially successful, is moving away from pay drivers. Which is a good thing but let us not forget that many teams for a long time could not survive without them. For all the bad rep that is projected on his son, Lawrence made massive investments in F1 that not only kept teams alive but in the case of Astin Martin, put it on a healthy trajectory with state of the art facilities.
nah dont care. If your team sucks ass and cant do finances, sell or close your team. Nepotism has no place in sports and compitition. Only the best should compete, simple as.
There would be no best if here isnt any team that exists for them. Thats what the og comment is trying to say @@wile123456
@wile123456 thats... thats literally what happened. Force india didnt have no money so lawrence bought em out and made them way better and more competitive than before.
@@bigdaddyrv16 Really? That's your take from all This?
@robertviens6104 look. Ill admit lance doesnt deserve his seat. But you also have to admit Lawrence has done more for his team and f1 as a whole than someone like Gene Haas.
Add a crash during a safety car to the list
well you can't be worst then mazespin
Agreed
hulkenburg and magnessun are not much better
@@marknicol9405they definitely are
The bottom line needs to reach the black screen at some point
bro managed to get 2.5/7 words wrong, quite something to be worst then yourself
I think I have watched one F1 race in my whole life, but the video was so well done, I really had to watch from start to the end. Good stuff, I'm thinking on checking your next controversial video
As much as I think he doesn’t deserve the seat, I do think that without Lance, Lawrence Stroll would not invest in F1 and hence we wouldn’t be able to see Alonso fighting for podiums in these past couple seasons. All top teams were too occupied anyway with their young drivers talent program and would consider twice before signing Alonso back for 2023 season.
In a universe without Lance Stroll, the team we know as AM now would probably be just some other midfielder team that wouldn’t be as entertaining to watch
that thumbnail is insane lol.
0:15 Both Canada AND North America 😮
I have been to both Korea and Asia
F1 is a funny thing for me. I understand that a lot of the pay to play drivers also helped float certain teams when money was a bit tight. So hopefully the driver pool will start to shake up a lil bit. If it doesn't, i don't think the overall feel of F1 will change for us that aren't true die-hards. I enjoy the absolute precision and interesting tactics used and also the general coolfactor of an F1 race being so well shot for viewers! Since the racing doesn't have a ton of action, it's very nice to throw it on, and be able to listen and still know that you didn't miss much visually. I just want to see the drivers be legit track monsters... And i think Lance really is. He can wheel that sumbitch even if papa made it actually come to fruition!
Hopefully whoever F2 champ few Next year have F1 seats
Those teams all deserved to sink though. If you suck, you should lose, simple as.
Lance Stroll reminds me of Iosef Tarasov (Viggo's Son) from John Wick movie🍿 😂
Any driver with more then one podium in F1 is NOT a bad driver. You cant buy your way to the podium. Was lance a good driver? Yes. Is he washed now? Absolutely lol
This is how the world is. Nothing new, nothing you will not see again. On the other hand he is doing his best to be what he wants to be. If you start breaking down everyone you see, you will always find flaws. This is why they say "never meet your heroes". Also, most the people that cry over others can't fill their shoes. This man is a race car driver and that is all you should ever care to know. Today some seem to have a problem with looking for ways to look down on others to feed their own egos. Who is really the joke here.. Oh I have some 1/2 baked tea, let's spill it for views. After all it's all about me.
I can't hate on Lance because if we're all being honest, if I had the financial backing to join F1 I would do the same thing. I just hope he starts to be more consistent and show the skill he has.
Capitalism means anyone with too much money either becomes purely evil or a moralless nepo baby
if lawrence was really serious in his son development a good teaching was to get him a testing role and make him work to go back to the main team, that would be a thing from a real dad, can you imagine jos verstapen seeing his son doing that!???
The photo with Stroll having an Aston Martin branded soother is hilarious.
colin and samir inspired thumbnail?....nice!!!!
Haha first one to recognize it 👀
seems like this guy makes watching f1 more fun.. he is the dose of unpredictability that makes accidents more frequents
Well, Lance making silly mistakes aged well in China
All motorsports costs money... karting can be extremely expensive. But you up your chances to win when you can buy custom parts others can not...thats not winning by being good.
All the drivers have rich dads that paid for them to get where they needed to be. Lances dad just happens to be the richest and paid the most. Race car driving isnt for poor people.
The thumbnail is so on point.
about time for this video. i was waiting long for it.
Money is important, yes, but you cant reach F1, if you are too slow for the 40 required superlicense points. Lance Stroll was successful enough to earn the license in his junior career.
And dont forget: Stroll is a former F3 European Champion, which is one of the series filled with a lot of talented drivers. Just look at the grid that was in the year, when stroll or occon won it. There was a lot of top drivers there.
Yes, he won thanks to political BS and super preferential treatment.
Russell called Prema on their absurd way of handling the team that year, they completely ruined Nick Cassidy who was the favorite going into that championship.
Prior to that he had done nothing, he was destroyed by Latifi and Verstappen in Winter Series and in karting he won nothing in Europe.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 Yh stroll was bankrolled his entire career, best engineer, best teams. all drivers are basically millionares but Russell won his F2 championship in an average team because Merc want their talent to prove themselves first.
You also don't need to win the championship to get the points needed for F1, I think that rule has changed though.
@@JuicedOnKids yeah okay but how do you explain the fact that he did ffront row start in monza + podium in his rookie career? If he was THAT carried by money and not talent?
Money buys everything... if you don't think you can BUY a license your fooling yourself
@@oldgolfpunk money never buy a good rookie season, podiums and pole position. you're fooling yourself if you think that
this is the sort of video that will inevitably pop up on a video about internet hate
I am shocked a) the other AM investors have not demanded a legitimate driver, b) Honda didn't get the right to name a driver as part of its exclusive engine supply deal, and c) Lance still has a super license.
In the first 3 races of 2024
Lance Stroll:- 9 points
A certain 7 time WDC:- 8 points
🗿🗿🗿
Wow... with so much processing prowess, NASA is missing out on you
Points
yeah ur just another stupid lance stroll meat rider
so as long as the season is never 3 races, he's got a snowballs chance in hell. Thanks for that input.
If you are overpointing a world champ that’s not a good comparison ? Who is that comparison unfavorable to?
I mean, Lance isn't the _worst_ pay driver of all time. He's at least shown some ability to race in F1.
If I was Sr. Stroll, I would also do whatever he's doing, and keep supporting Lance, there are things more important than money, family
Business card is rumoured to be, “Backup driver” Family Business
There should have an amount counter in the of the money Lawrence "Donated" throughout the years
Best thumbnail award 🥇
yeah nice hate train riding right there, congrats lol
Who here after Lance stroll's P1 in stupidity in Chinese GP 2024 🎉🤑🤑🤑😵💫😵💫😵💫
And today was another milestone in his carreer, thanks to his clumsyness did Ricciardo a favor of remodelling his back
I don’t have a problem with how he got into F1. It may not be my favorite way, but that’s how it is sometimes. I have a massive problem with F1 drivers like Perez potentially losing their F1 seats after scoring incredible results, all because they don’t have the benefit of being the boss’ son
I’ve never sat in an F1 car let alone driven one, but I’m pretty sure I could NEVER get a single point let alone multiple podiums. Pay driver or not, you’ve still got to push these vehicles around a track at a fair lick. The ‘slowest’ guy on track will always much faster than we ever could dream to be
With this kind of logic, Taki Inoue deserved his seat.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382Did you really understand my point?
What if we received the same amount of training, support, and practice that he had on his come up. Then, I think then you could make an argument that a majority of us would be better. That's the argument for current junior drivers to take his seat.
I always wonder how much talent might be walking around but never got the opportunities of these drivers as kids because they werent born into familys with deep pockets. Pay driver or not. Karting as a kid is probably the most expensive sport you could have a kid play.
@@andyleal7132 I totally get that point. But I know there have been plenty of rich kids, who, no matter how much training you give them, still couldn’t keep an F1 car on a track for quarter of a lap.
Sure his teammates seem to beat him in every statistic. However, a lot of his season finishes were 10th, 11th,12 etc meaning there always seems to be at least 7-8 drivers worse than him points wise. The last two seasons were not great for sure.
As a Canadian its always nice to root for someone from the same country. Except for this case...
In both canada and north america?
Ollie Bearman deserves Stroll's seat!
Nah he deserves Lewis seat
Aston might actually be better than Mercedes in the Constructors if Stroll wasn’t on the team lol
I think he should move to touringcars. There are plenty of f1 drivers who may have struggled in F1, but had amazing careers in touringcars.
man im saving up for an electric screwdriver and THATS too much
We also have a different kind of legend, Sergeant xD
My parents joy was watching us having the best time they could afford. Good on Lance senior.
Except he's possibly pushing his son to keep doing this despite the passion isn't there.
Btw, F1 Is motorpsort's pinnacle, not some backyard race, nepotism shouldn't be allowed.

His not a bad driver but without his father he would be out of sport a long time ago giving a chance to some fresh talent
I remember reading an article years ago about how Lance would be the next big thing, as a Ferrari apprentice. But his dad probably paid the magazine for the article come to think of it. And Tommy Hilfiger was always shite gear.
No other driver would survive being beaten by his teammate in every year he was in F1.
I don't necessarily respect him as a person, granted he is my age and I obviously envy his bloodline, but I don't HATE Lance Stroll.
It's a crazy take! He's an alright driver who drives on the level of Magnussen or Zhou.
And he's not a bad person, although I won't fogret the physical attack he made on his personal trainor.
Naturally, we will always make jokes olabout Stroll and make fun of him for the fact that he is a pay-driver who would have likely lost his F1 seat at Williams had it not been for his dad's enormous wealth.
With that said, I don't believe anybody actually "hates" him but I can only speak for myself.
You envy his bloodline, WTF?
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 You're shocked what a weirdo with charles darwin nickname said?
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 You don't wish your dad was rich? That's what he said.

In the era of new technical regulations, Lance is the new Pastor Maldanado.
''stroll isn't looking where he's going!'' is quete that summarizes strolls career
Motor sports are Country Clubs for the folks that can buy there way into a seat. Drivers are by no means racers.
Ask David Letterman if he still likes to pay the baby sitting bill.
It is not L. Stroll's fault that his father has an F1 team :) I wouldn't be a nıon-paid driver most probably and pursue something challenging for myself but it is no one's business to blame him for what he has chosen. For sure you can criticize him for being not talented and not deserving the seat. This is something else. I even criticized and believed Verstappen should not be in F1 when was keep crashing other drivers before his first championship winning year :)
I understand pay to play, it's an expensive sport, but at what point to does his dad say enough is enough and get a better driver? Is it about taking his team to the top, or just paying enough money so his son can driver F1?
Deion sanders literally became a coach to get his sons in D1 schools then into p5 school and it shows without papa they wouldn’t be there and his son delulu talking about I been through adversity
"A team is only as strong as it's weakest link."
Shame you missed that Vettel retired after the race where stroll brake-checked Vettel to take an undeserved win.
Kinda strong on nikita mazespin
Isn't that title indicative of how everyone, maybe until recent years, makes it?
Jackie Stewart thought so. It may not normally be this severe, but it seems to be absolutely necessary that the silver spoon was present.
Why do we expected lance to be at the level of champions? We all know hes a pay driver, so all i think he needs to do is not be a danger on track and somewhat keep pace, and he definately manages to pass here.
bro the one crash after the race was absolutely not his fault that’s insane
1:15 Isn't Canada in north america?
Wasnt niki lauda a pay driver tho
Pay driver means a Formula 1 driver who underperforms (like crashes in races, eventually earning penalties, causing a chaos, provoking the other drivers to either cause a contact or showing middle finger to them, etcetera) or like Stroll and Mazepin - coming from a very wealthy family and their parents paying their children's way to get the F1 seat among the way. Lauda paid an entrance tax to compete in Formula 1, but the reason why he took a bank loan to pay himself the tax was because of his father's refusal. He didn't approved the Niki Lauda's decision by claiming that Lauda is a name of politicians and businessmen (in other words, Niki Lauda never wanted to be what his father wanted to be - either a politician or businessman, so he joined Formula 1).
@@IGG2002Putting Stroll and Mazepin in the same sentence is insance. How exactly does Stroll underperform in that car?
@@TheThreatenedSwan I didn't said that Stroll underperforms, I'm saying that he's coming from a very wealthy family and despite the podium he had, I thought that he was labelled as "daddy's cash" because they think he betrayed Williams for Racing Point (now Aston Martin).
Not the thumbnail
It is a given that Lance is just an okay driver and trying his darnest to be at a level of the current greats. The place he occupies in F1 is just fair since to enter F1 you have to have money or talent to be hired. Lance's family does not bankrupt a country or enslave a nation just so he can afford to race. So, it is just fair. He is burning his own money from their various business empires and Lance has skills except he is not a Lewis or Max (yet) or maybe never but whatever he has the money so he races. If I was him, for sure I would do the same and many would want to be in his shoes.
He reminds me of Lou Ferrigno.
Let's be honest. All F1 drivers come from money. Even Lewis' Dad who worked 2 jobs but they were extremely high paying executive jobs, not quite a "By day/By night" gig.
Lewis won because of his skin colour they gifted him the wc in the name of reparations
You have to rich and good to be an F1 driver. How many amazing drivers are out there that will never get an opportunity to show what they are capable of.
in 2 seasons something will happen between stroll and his teammate, which could be anybody theses days, his teammate is gone and money-saving stroll, couldnt think of something funnier for lance, will still be there
Insane lap holy shit
NAHH that thumbnail LOL
Lead thread throughout this video:
*But for some strange reaaon, Lance was kept for* /insert year here/
Nikita: Hold my beer
I think the video is a bit unfair. Anyone who can podium or even get P5 in F1 deserves to be there irrespective of how they got there.
Everyone expects him to overperform like Alonso does. But he's doing everything the team asks him to do.
The F4 title was a scummy though
Doesn't mean anything, Montero got a podium in F1 yet he was on average slower than frickin Kartykhean, aka the guy who was 1 second slower than a 42 years old De La Rosa in qualifying!
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 One podium yes, but 3 + Pole position.... cmon
And he got there by his good junior performance
Pretty much ever driver in F1 has rich families that financed their early racing. There.is no cheap racing anywhere anymore. Why don't all of you pop into a F1 car and see how fast you are. I don't think he is that bad. Most of the drivers on the grid rely on personal sponsorship to get a ride.
As a Canadian we do not claim the Stroll's as our own.
they'll be able to keep him until they get enough investors or get a car good enough to actually compete for constructor/title. AT which point they'll be forced out.
How is this different than lando norris, or George Russel? Heck even Hamilton’s dad was a millionaire and not a middle class person like they try to represent. And Hamilton was earning what? 80k a year since McLaren picked him up at 8 or 9 years old.
99% of drivers have weathly parents, but most cant afford much past F4, then its up to the kid to perform and prove themselves. Like Max in F3 was in a terrible car, his dad couldn't bankroll the best team like Stroll. But Max still performed. F1 teams are very expensive, being a millionaire doesn't cut it.
@@TorchIGNhow did stroll do in F3?
@@TorchIGNhe won the championship in f3…
And his time at Williams before Toto and his daddy stroll made an agreement, Lance stroll did quite well.
It wasn’t until Toto pushed Lance to b status that he rolled back wards.
Same at AM.
Lance stroll needs to drive at a team away from Toto and away from Daddy Stroll. And see how he does.
Let's not forget how Valtteri deliberately joined Mercedes, because he wanted to be the Hamilton's pet, instead of a Formula 1 champion. Stroll may have been labelled as "Daddy's cash", but Bottas has less trophies than Harry Kane and is worse than Jolyon Palmer. Drivers like Bottas (purposely joining a team only to make your teammate better than he actually is instead of fighting for the title) and pay drivers DON'T deserve a seat in F1, while drivers like Oliver Bearman, Mick Schumacher, Nicholas Latifi and Bruno Senna definitely deserve a seat in F1.
Mate bottas is a million times better than stroll
Bottas didn't win the championship because he's not as good as Lewis, simple as that.
@@zarekbhalla123 won more races than Palmer and a lot of current f1 drivers and a few fastest laps, track records and so and in a few races, he beat Lewis's head-on.
Of course the window lic&er hits another barrier
Well he proves he is worthy of that spot.
Imagine paying to win and still keep losing
It's funny seeing people in the comments talking about "deserving" drivers not being there, EVERY single driver that's in F1 it's there not because they are the best that exist, but because they have money, and were born in the right place by pure lock, not all are billionaires for sure, but being middle class in a first world country or at least developing country means you HAVE money, and every single talented driver that were poor are automatically out, there's no questions, having billions of dollars it's in itself part of the attributes that you are born with, reaction time, size, talent, physical potential, all are inherited, but people complain about the money, like everything else wasnt given by his parents as well, of course you can work hard to improve what you got, but that holds true to money as well, face it, money is one of the most important attributes for you to become an F1 driver, the kid could be vastly worst, and there's literally hundreds of drivers that scored less points that got in F1 the "proper" way.
I won't say I feel sad for the guy, because fuck that, he is a billionaire F1 driver, but the level of hate he gets it's not that justified.
1:15 canada and north america 💀💀💀
He is a good driver his dad just needs to say perform or bye
If stroll wasn’t such a terrible driver I wouldn’t be annoyed. All of these other drivers have to prove themselves to be in f1. I feel you need to prove yourself even more to be WORTHY of you taking 1 of 20 seats. But he hasn’t. He has been in f1 for 7 years and just because he’s good in the wet doesn’t mean he’s worthy of f1. He still makes very stupid rookie mistakes and causes millions of dollars of damage. It was fine when the team was starting to figure things out and he could hide behind the fact that he was bad. But now they’re a legitimate title contender and he still fucks it into the barriers every other fucking race.
I disagree, he's not the best but worthy of the sport. There are drivers on the grid not showing anything either and we've seen worse before. Also many of the drivers on grid come from money.
Stroll just gets unjustified hate is all.
As a non f1 watcher Ive never heard of this guy. The only f1 drivers I know are Vettel, Hamilton, Verstappen, and schumacher. And I doubt most have heard of him. It doesnt matter how much daddy pumps money in, greatness and talent cannot be bought.
This is all of racing. It's a rich person's sport and has always been. Some dads are just richer than others.
