It would be beneficial if you had a karting background but you should stuff your wallet with a lot of money or get a sponsor who will spend plenty of cash, and head for England where many of the circuits have racing schools. Enroll in one and learn the basics of driving a race car. From there you can usually buy a ride with a Formula Ford team, then a Formula 2000 or Formula Renault outfit. It will probably have cost you at least $50,000, maybe more, by now.
At this stage it will be obvious whether or not you have talent, and if you do, and if you still have lots and lots of money, a British or European Formula Three team will put you in a car and you might even advance to GP2 and, at the same time snag a job as a test driver with an F1 team. If you've won a championship along the way (F3 or GP2), the FIA will probably grant you a Super License and if you still have lots of money or a corporation willing to sponsor you, you might become an F1 driver. Of course if you are an exceptional driver by now, the F1 teams will come knocking on your door
There are other ways of becoming an F1 driver but this is the route many take.
Remember, there are only 22 F1 drivers (24 in 2008) and a handful of test drivers, so your chances of making it all the way aren't great. Still, you can dream.

Hate to break the news to you, but if you aren't already racing cars and winning, the odds of you ever sitting in a F1 car are just about nil. If you have the money and time and want to race cars, start out racing the Skip Barber Race Series, win the championship, go to Europe, race for someone over there and work your way into Formula 3 and win the championship. It will help if you do all this by the time you turn 20 years old.

Most Formula One drivers agree that participating in Go-Kart Racing is the most similiar style to Formula One cars. Thus if you want to know if you got what it takes. Plus you need, lots and lots of seat time and true dedication is really needed to suceed. It's no different as in any other sport, true dedication and unlimited finances also help doesn't hurt either. Good Luck, from one who knows. My very first Go-Kart race, got the green flag, and was upside-down by turn one!

you must be under 13 to start driving karting
then if you win (it takes about 5 years) you go to formula 3000
and if you become the champion (if you are really good it takes about 2 years)
you finnaly go to F1
of course you have to be talented,lucky,and young
