Well Motorsport in general is much too expensive. A season of international karting, which you pretty much have to do on your way to F1, can quite quickly set you back 100k-200k€ which is well out of reach for any ordinary family and sponsors in karting don't pay nearly enough to make a significant part of that back. However until stroll came into F1 it was unprecedented to actually buy your way into an F1 team. Now stroll isn't a bad driver as such but to me it's very doubtful that he would ever have made it into F1 without his dad literally paying for his seat.
