Which Female Race Driver deserves a place on The F1 grid?

[ManFromMilan]

With regards to the talent of Female racing drivers in the world, who should be looked at as a possible entry in Formula One?

Please do not make this a political discussion or one about who looks the best outside the car

[Greig]

Who do you think?

[justjesper]

One who can get, the most sponsors

[Kiwi Nick]

The one who has earned it! Right now that is nobody.

[Hermann]

At the risk to get slaughtered by the feminists on board, i prefer F1 to be a men's sport.

[ManFromMilan]

Who do you think?

I have no idea.

That is why i asked this question. Who knows about any young female drivers that is performing in the junior championships in motor racing. Who is good enough and interested enough to make it to F1.

I am not sure Suzie Wolf is a good racing driver, not even talking about F1 yet, but she seems to be the closest to a F1 seat at the moment. I don't follow the American motorsport anymore, so i have no idea who is still active and then good in their series of motorsport.

In addition, if it ever does happen, it shouldn't come at the expense of a more deserving male driver.

Beitske Visser. She's now part of the Red Bull programme.

[Katu]

being serious i as woman fully agree

[Jose Lorca]

Susie Wolff is the closest to F1, but does she really have a chance of progressing to a race seat? Williams have plans to sign a young driver, is Wolff stuck as development driver?

Anyone who is quick enough.

Once they put the helmet on, boys and girls, they all look the same.

The only right answer.

[Tifoso]

None. F1 is too dangerous.

[F2008]

It would be unfair to let women compete against men because F1 is a physically demanding sport. I think they deserve their own world championship or classification.

I don't get why Bernie doesn't run a women's F1 championship as a support race to every GP.

Same teams and cars .. More track time and gives the spectators something different.

[Sianellen]

None. There aren't any winning any of the junior series so none deserve to be racing in F1 yet. Same goes for some of the current male drivers. *Cough* Max Chilton

Beitske Visser. She's now part of the Red Bull programme.

Yep, and she is fast, really fast. She adapts very quickly, is intelligent and even a good mechanic and she's only just 18 years old. Racing from the age of 7 and she has won a lot.
She's starting F3 now and Red Bull think she's a winner.
She has only one goal: F1. Asked about her being a woman she said: I don't care

Beitske was only 5 when she made her karting debut. She took to it quickly and started competition aged 7. Beginning with 60 Mini, then ICA Junior she climbed into the top 5 in Holland and Belgium. Then she entered international races in KF3 and Rotax Junior, for many the step up would have been difficult but she thrived, the move to to KZ, the category for the most powerful and toughest machines, revealed her pure talent. Right from he first race she was fighting with the established stars.
After significant success in KZ2 and KZ1 it was time to take another big step and 2012 saw the leap into open wheel cars with a drive for Lotus/Motopark in the ADAC Formel Masters. Again the the move did not phase her at all. Behind the wheel of the Dallara powered by the 1600 cc, 145 HP VW engine, and using the aerodynamic downforce only gave further scope for her abilities, she was fighting towards the front from the start and won 2 races in her first season.
In 2013 she entered the Red Bull young drivers programme.

3rd German Winter Karting Championship
2012:
8th ADAC Formel Masters, 2 wins

A lot of information, but she's from my homecountry

None. F1 is too dangerous.

So it's perfectly fine for Males to go out and race... But Because its dangerous you think Woman can't? I'm sorry but your post is completely wrong... And sexist.

Call it what you want. The sport is too dangerous. And, to be honest, I like it the way it has always been, with almost no exception. Women can and should be able to do anything that they wish, with only a very few exceptions. IMO.

His opinion is wrong? How tolerant of you.

The day a woman steps foot in F1 will be the day Serena Williams starts playing in men's tennis tournament.

[XXX132]

Few other sports of any significance allow "mixed" genders to compete simultaneously.

Tennis, every summer and winter Olympics sport I can think of, golf, (soccer)/football, boxing etc. All have separate championships.

F1 should be the same.

[Hornet]

One important factor that needs to be considered, is how much effect there will be from the biological difference between male and female when it comes to the physical side of it. Biologically, males seems to have a physical edge over female. I mean, take for example a 100m sprint; Usain Bolt - 9.58, Florence Joyner - 10.49. This is why we have different categories for male and female in many sports. It's not being sexist, its simply to ensure a fair competition due to biological differences set by nature, not us.

But of course 100m is a purely physical sport. In F1, it's both physical and driving skills. Its important to look at how much of a difference it will make on the physical side of things. Will the biological difference plays a role big enough to put even the best female driver at a disadvantage in F1? In other racing, the physical requirement is no where near F1 so its clearly a non issue. But I think in F1, its still somewhat an unknown territory.

Women also tend to over react to little things like this

*joking...maybe

[racingbradley]

I don't know any female driver good enough for F1 yet!!!!
I am not saying it will not be possible in the future when she proves herself in F2 first. Don't see any of them doing that at present!!!!
Personally I like F1 the way it is now.
22 young males plenty of eye candy.
