Fun fact: There was a previous attempt to make an “all-female driver category” with the W-Series.

It folded before it could complete its 3rd season.

Expect the same thing to happen with F1 Academy

Yeah, it’s not like they haven’t been desperate to have a female driver in F1 for the past twenty years or so. Trouble is, F1 is so elite that unless they can compete with men in top physical shape (you need to be supremely fit to handle high-g corners repeatedly for two hours) they will never even get selected.

I believe there’s a couple of female test drivers working for various constructors at the moment, if they really wanted to virtue signal a constructor could let them race but I don’t think the constructors want to lose points that much.

Maybe someone will offer Lewis Hamilton enough cash to Troon out, he probably has a number in mind already.

Reminds me a little if Vae Victis the all female esports team that got wrecked repeatedly because they were promoted into the elite level based on their gender and not ability, there was an interview with their “trainer” and he said he couldn’t advise them as they kept complaining he was patronising them. Hilarious.

Yeah, as a woman I've had to cope with mysoginy all my life.

Lol, your just as oblivious as the trans people who think that cutting their dick off makes them a woman.

Don't live in delusion. Move to reality.

So what's my delusion here? The idea that women can drive? Because if you think women can't drive, then wow, buddy, slapstick comedy of the '50s called and wants their jokes back.
