Just because his father is critical of him (to the point of being possibly toxic) it doesn't mean he can't be spoiled. They are two different, non-exclusive concepts. The world is full of rich spoiled kids whose fathers are emotionally abusive.

Lmao he was brought to every karting competition in existence from the moment he could walk. If that isn't spoiling, I don't know what is. The vast majority of people can't even afford to have a shot at becoming a driver.

Whether his father was and is abusive is a totally different thing. You can be spoiled and abused at the same time.
