Lance isn't COMPETITIVE.I believe Lance Stroll has shown us it is possible...with the correct amount of money.
Interesting, and in the world of fighter plane pilots how many were women and where did they rank amongst all the other men?Considering that women have flown more physically demanding fighter planes for years, I don't think that makes a difference.
I think in about 10 years time every motorsport will end up like this. It won't matter what sex you are, all that will matter is how talented you are. Once that happens, people will realize that women can perform just as well as men in motorsport.
No it won't, I have faith in our community to respond maturely and in a sensible fashion I thought long and hard about if I should post this one or not, but in the end I'm trusting everyone to be constructive and have a proper debate on an interesting topic, rather than descend into silly little child comments
Mouton in particular is imo the best proof that women can reach the top of motorsport. WRC in the Group B era was arguably tougher physically than any motorsport series today. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to drive 12 hours a day for a weekend with those powerful beasts without power steering. Mouton did and was on par if not above his male competitors.Have the names Amy Ruman and Michelle Mouton been mentioned yet? Amy Ruman won two back to back Transam championships, which are 900 BHP cars without any technology whatsoever (IIRC, they don't even have power steering!) on America's rather daunting road tracks (no tarmac runoff on those things either). Michelle Mouton smashed the Pikes Peak record with the famous Group B Audi Quattro Pikes Peak, and she would have won the 1982 WRC against Walter Röhrl if her father hadn't died during the middle of the championship. Although I doubt that Michelle Mouton would be competetive in an F1 car now, for obvious reasons (she only ever races Group B cars, even today, and she's a bit older now), the question whether women can compete at the top levels of motorsport has already been answered: Yes.
