Today I thought I would talk about another set of hero's, women drivers in Formula 1, or lack of them. I know some have had tests before, however only 5 women have raced in Formula 1, these were Maria Teresa de Filippis ,Lella Lombardi ,Divina Galica, Desiré Wilson and Giovanna Amati. All of these were before the 2000's. The last being around 1992. I also know that McLaren have tested a female driver, however I think I am right in saying that the Gee-Forces of modern formula 1 cars, are to high for the female frame, having just watched Susie Wolff doucmentry, maybe I was wrong. It was interesting to hear that females do not have the same set of neck muscles as men do. Would this stop someone like Susie, I do not think so, to see she is just as fast as a man in a Formula 1 car is fantastic. However can she go a race distance. Now testing for Williams, it shows she can. I would like to know how many laps of a circuit Susie has completed. I would also like to see her in a race...
I hope some day we have women drivers back in formula 1. This would be great for men and women alike. Maybe if the engines are changed in 2014, as the FIA want but not the fans, than we might see a return, as the cars will be going a bit slower then before. Once we know where and what is going to happen with the engine changes in 2014.
So how many more of you would like to see women drivers in Formula 1?
