Tyron Bateman

Tyron Bateman was born in the Abrams Complex military installation near Frankfurt, Germany as a 'military brat', and was raised there by American parents before moving to New York City. He became interested in motorsports as a young child watching television and drove go-karts before he decided to move back to Germany as soon as he was old enough to do so. Thanks to his uncle's financial backing and sponsorship, Tyron was given rides for various F3 and F2 teams, but winning just two races there before he accepted a F1 ride in 2012. However he failed to achieve even a single point in 2012 and then later in 2013, but he always had his uncle's money to fall back on and use as leverage to get yet another ride from different teams. From 2014 to 2018, he rode for six (!!!) different teams, and yet never earned a spot on the podium.
