She could snap Hamilton like a toothpick. And he would beg her to do it.

There is also a very neat article in the current Panorama about the endurance rally racing escapades of Renee Brinkerhoff.

When did talent start to matter in F1 again?
It's sponsorship paid seat....I mean hunt best Maldonado's best lap by 3/4 a lap because maldanodo wrecked again.

The physical demands from an f1 are more cardio and reaction time.....not brute strength.....
F1 cars are seeing peaks of 6.+ g......(Albert park)
Top fuel is 6 g range as well where there are plenty of woman doing well, I think Brittany force is actually in 1st.

It's just a matter of time....just stinks it's taken this long......I am lining up a 3 driver f1 development team as we speak...

Top fuel- 6G X 5 seconds. F1-6G X 70 miles worth of unending corners.

Anyone wonder if perhaps there are less female race drivers due to less females Wanting to drive race cars? Perhaps the barriers are not all man made.

I don't follow drag racing much, but it seems that women have done quite well, and not just Force. Just better opportunities, or are they better at a focused 4 seconds of droving? They are all over NHRA motorcycles. Weight advantage, or is it similar to top fuel?

Now Kurt, you are about to get in all kinds of trouble here.

I made a similar point and was torn to shreds!

It's just a lie to expect that men and women have the same interests. Just look at our club. There are plenty of enthusiastic women who DE and club race every weekend. But there are exponentially more men that do. It's just the way it is. More men like machines than do women. Simple fact.

It's not wrong it just is

Thank you for introducing it here on this forum. Sometimes you have to force people to confront morally challenging issues that they would rather not have to think about. It's one of the obligations of being more enlightened and a better person than everyone else. Because of you we've all had to confront one of the great injustices in the world today -- that attractive women work as models at car shows. I think we are all better people now. I know I am. I no longer find attractive women attractive. Now when I see a model I say to myself, "she is no more or less attractive than any other woman. I refuse to judge, body-shame, or commit look-ism."

Thank you, Fumes.

I think studies/metrics have shown they have better reaction times than the guy drivers.

Is your wife standing behind you right now, reading what you type over your shoulder? Is she buying it?
