Like I said, male dominance and no surprise in Bernie's part really. Oh what a joyful spirit this man has brought into F1 racing all these decades. Only a class apart for women will help women grow to the top of motorsports, being competitive to their own. The male sports world will never tolerate females competing at the highest levels against them.
Really? Then there would be a complete black-balling them from any form of racing. Racing, after all, is the only sport where there is relative equality between the sexes. In fact, take Danica for example. She's been involved in two forms of single-make type racing leagues (NASCAR and IRL), she only scored one victory since entering either (Japan in the early 00's). I think this says something about this whole discussion when you acknowledge that a woman is only mildly competitive when everything from the mechanical stand point is equalized.
