It's a cheeky dig fans are in on. 'Daddy I want to drive in F1' sits beside a grown driver with a baby's dummy in, so the joke is a seat paid for by a parent. The title promises to show how that buying works.
'How to' is tongue-in-cheek, since almost nobody watching could afford it, so the title reads as an exposé of pay drivers dressed up as a guide.
The dummy is the whole joke in one prop, and quote marks make the line sound like the driver's own words, with yellow on 'drive in F1'.
When your audience shares a running joke about a well-known figure, sum the joke up in one prop and a short quote they can hear in that person's voice. Then promise the real mechanics behind it in the title.
Sum up the running joke in one prop, then explain it.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
