F1 Academy: Involvement of F1 teams in all-female series must go beyond branding, says Naomi Schiff
Formula 1 teams are supporting F1 Academy in 2024 by each running a car and driver in their colours; Watch the opening round of the 2024 F1 Academy season live from Saudi Arabia on Sky Sports F1 this week, with the races on Friday and Saturday
Are women not allowed to compete in F1?
It's been a long time since any have been good enough. Katherine Legge and Danica Patrick might have been good enough for a back marker seat 20 years ago.
The only things stopping a woman from driving in F1 are money and talent.
It comes down to the talent pool and its size. There are not enough female racing drivers yet.
Need more young girls/women in karting/feeder series. Unfortunately, that likely won't happen until a talented woman "makes it" into f1.
For years, people have been pinning hopes on different upcoming drivers to be the one.
Its probably going to take a talented woman who is capable of beating more than half the field of men before they get a chance, unfortunately. Rather than just being better than a few of the current drivers, which is unfair.
