they have cars in egypt?

Not a single chance in hell. Google F1 driver license requirements, then google F2, F3 and FIA. Then actually participate in a race team above karts and write again. In a few years.

No. I have just googled F1 driver license requirements and you have no chance.
4 :
ha ha ha ha, no, not even a remote hope. Or unless you are the son of an oil tycoon that could bank roll a F1 team for a few years.

Kid you have more chance of entering F1 in 2013 then Bruno Senna winning this years championship
6 :
Do you have all the licensees,experiance and a very rich daddy that will buy you an F1 race car and team, if not dont expect any F1 team to let you get within 20 feet of one of there cars.

It is very difficult to get in to motorracing. First you need to go Karting etc, this is expensive. Then you need to prove your worth and start in the lower formulas. This is very expensive. Then you need to prove your worth as you try to progress upwards. Know that your dream is unlikely to happen, but maybe you will find yourself happier racing in the lower formula or maybe indy or racing something else like Nascar or bikes. Good Luck, you could be the first Egyptian driver. (The racing colour for Egypt is purple)

get adopted by Bernie Ecclestone and drive like Schumi , then you've got maybe a chance for 2013

slim to none!

Not easy. In fact, almost next to impossible. It's a little bit crowded. That means you have to be better than the test drivers. You gotta be a real deal GP2 champion. And that's not even gonna automatically qualify you. You gotta have an x-factor of champions like Alonso, Hamilton, and would-be champion Vettel. Alonso, for his part, won two world championships with his former team despite not having the fastest car. I think everybody knows how last year's champion won his and that he's in no position to repeat this year. Just look at the present crop. And HRT seems like a revolving door, except of course for Bruno Senna. But don't listen to me. I say go for it as far as it can take you.

That's not enough time. You need to work your way up the ladder. Start with karts, then Formula 3 then to GP2. Then Formula 1.

There's always a chance, but here is an outline of the racing experience most drivers have: For the most part F1 drivers start in Karting and then come up through traditional European single seater series like Formula Ford, Formula Renault, Formula 3, and finally GP2. The GP2 series started in 2005 and all three champions have gone on to race in F1. Before GP2, Formula Two and then Formula 3000 had filled the role of the last major "stepping stone" into F1. No F2, F3000 or GP2 champion has yet won the Formula One championship, however. Drivers are not required to have competed at this level before entering Formula One. British F3 has long been considered one of the best places to spot F1 talent, with champions including Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Mika Häkkinen having moved straight from that series to Formula One. Again, though, it is possible to be picked earlier, as was the case with Kimi Räikkönen, who went straight from Formula Renault to an F1 drive. American Championship Car Racing has also contributed to the Formula One grid. Champions Mario Andretti and Jacques Villeneuve, as well as Michael Andretti, Juan Pablo Montoya, Cristiano da Matta and Sébastien Bourdais have all moved to F1 from America, with varying degrees of success. Other drivers have taken different paths to F1; Damon Hill raced motorbikes, and Michael Schumacher raced in sports cars, albeit after climbing through the junior single seater ranks. To race, however, the driver must hold an FIA Super Licence – ensuring that the driver has the requisite skills, and will not therefore be a danger to others. Some drivers haven't had the license when first assigned to a F1 team. Kimi Räikkönen received the license despite having only 23 car races to his credit.

Anything is possible, we have a black US president, golfer, tennis player and f1 driver, who knows maybe we will one day get an egyptian that can actually drive!

Unless you are already backed by one of the big teams there is no change for you. Most drivers are backed from the time they are in go-karts by one of the big teams.
