F1 will always be the dream for every aspiring young driver but the sad truth is 99% of them will never make it, no matter how talented they are.
Money, lots of it, and connections (management) are the prime reasons. Add into the mix that circa 50% of the F1 teams require pay drivers and you're looking at maybe just 10 to 12 talent based seats.
I actually don't think that's good for F1 but frankly it's never been any different.
Drivers who want to earn a living from the sport should be encouraged to consider everything and anything......sure they won't become World famous or multi millionaires but they could do OK.
