Throwing teenagers into international racing straight away — I like it. I've been in the paddock long enough to know that instinct only comes from real, high-stakes racing. Take the money worries off their plate with a scholarship and talent breaks through faster. Can't wait to see what monsters come out of the 2027 intake, honestly.

This kind of investment pays off on the podium a few years out.

How much does the scholarship actually cover, I wonder…

Article just says it covers 'part of' the racing costs.

Bet only rich kids actually get picked for this, right?

Widening the pipeline like this is honestly welcome.

This is exciting, getting into this environment as a teen is almost unfair.
