Hamilton wasn’t poor growing up at least in any conventional sense of the word. His dad mortgaged his house to pay for go carting. He owned property in the UK. That immediately puts him middle class. His dad was an IT contractor. You here he worked 3 jobs and you think of this person working all night.
Essentially the poorest you can be to get into F1 is like the top end of hockey.
