Desire Wilson: The story of F1's only race-winning woman - F1 Fanatic So - women can't drive F1 cars ? How about a woman who not only drove one but won a race in it? (a three year old car at that) OK, so it wasn't actually a championship race - well it WAS until someone (guess who?) decided that it wasn't anymore... Slightly old article - but gives a good idea of what it was like for a woman to even try to get into F1...
And - that was in the days of "brutal" ground-effect cars, with manual gear changes, no electronic driver aids and heading towards 1000bhp - so don't try to say that cars are more physically demanding to drive now...
