Must be nice to be able to literally buy your son a ride in F1 and a F3 championship.

His dad owns Circuit Mont Tremblant. Supposedly they'd shut down the track for an hour arbitrarily so Lance could go for a few laps. If he has the driving chops I think the money will take a back seat. Let's see how he does.

There was a past champion (does anyone remember who it was?) that said something like: 'right now there are 10 guys in [insert country here, e.g. India] that have potential to be faster than I." If he has the chops, then he's lucky to have gotten the opportunity.

Sounds like F1 might be returning to standing starts in the wet. For better or worse.
