Long, long overdue but I’m so nervous for the first woman who makes it to the grid, going to be so much attention and scrutiny.
There have been female drivers before. 5 in fact. But yes the next female driver to get a race seat is gonna have one hell of a media storm around them.
Why?
Idiots get batshit already:
I don’t understand how people can be so fragile that a woman driving an F1 car can cause such responses. It almost seems like they have to talk her down just to make sure that their own pride isn’t hurt
I wonder what she would have been able to achieve if she hadn’t run into funding issue.
Well she’s in F1 academy next year so we’ll see how she compares to other drivers, but realistically dozens of drivers drop out every year due to funding and we’ve not seen any of them to be diamonds when given the chance.
She is? Where has this been announced?
The BBC news article about the test said she was driving for Aston in academy, but the sky article about her more recently doesn’t say drive but “playing a role” so could be crossed wires between journalists or waiting an official announcement
Good for AM for giving her some seat time. F1 is overdue for some female presence.
Bet she is much faster then $troll
