for sure his dad has got a few quid, but credit where credit is due......the boy can pedal, forget what the press say......as he showed in the test at Hungary a few weeks back, he was bloody quick, and the whole F1 paddock could clearly see it, it was a no brainer, his times were F-quick.
I would rather not reveal my sources, but a very good friend of mine is a race engineer at a team that Lando has driven for.....this guy has been in the industry for approx 30 years and worked with them all, won it all, seen it all.......we went out for lunch a few months back, and the words he gave me were: "Lando is the real deal".....says it all for me.
Its also obvious that Zak Brown is very closely linked to the karting industry via his 2 sons, he occasionally turned up at Buckmore last year with his 2 sons being run by his united autosports team, with none other than Terry Fullerton doing the driver coaching.......so putting 2 and 2 together, I would say that Landos previous exploits in karting are also well known to Zak Brown.
But I'm sure you will fan the flames of millionare parents buying their way to the top, all I can say is thank god he didnt drive for Fusion!!!...... otherwise you will have a field-day with him - LOL ;-)
