Lewis Hamilton fears young drivers are sacrificing their education

Five-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton says he is worried that up=and-coming young drivers are so focused on achieving success in motorsport that they are sacrificing their education to do so. "A lot of kids that are racing don't have an education, or don't get an education," the five-time world champion told Motorsport.com this week. "Parents take the kids out of school to focus on trying to get that ultimate. And then when it doesn't happen you fall flat on your back. "Obviously winning a championship is a great thing," he acknowledged. "[But with an education] even if they don't make it to Formula 1 or as another racing driver, they can be an engineer. "There are thousands of people within these teams. There are so many opportunities within all these organisations. So that's something I want to get involved in."
