F101: A Deep Dive Into F1's Young Driver Programs

As much as it pains us to say this, Fernando Alonso isn’t going to be on the grid forever.

But on the positive side, there are a ton of young drivers clamoring for his seat, you know, once he decides to actually retire again for good, which of course, won’t be for a goof long time with the announcement of Alonso’s contract extension with Aston Martin.

Enter: the Driver Development Programs

Join Kathryn and Emily on this deep dive into the future of F1 and motorsport as a whole, including:

-Why these programs exist in the first place

-The path(s) drivers can take to get to F1

-What goes into getting those coveted Super License points

-Continued questions on if F2 and F3 are actually doing enough to prepare young drivers for F1

-All about the F1 Young Driver Test sessions
