Really? Can you think of anything you do in regular life that compares to an international sport that consists of so few teams, and requires so much sponsorship money that your only hope at all is to convince people that once they hand over the money you can do it? The difference between sucess and failure in any business is often a very small margin of error, especially during the initial start up periods. During my years as a small business owner I watched hundreds fail in the same field, and I'm sure what I did pales in comparison to the efforts of being 1 of 13 teams in the world to put a duo of cars on a modern Formula 1 grid. Though I've done some amateur level racing, I've always been one well aware that the worst driver on an F1 grid is likely vastly more talented than myself, the vast majority of amateur racers, and the vast majority of professional racers.
