Well I hate to be a traitor to my gender... but on the whole, women drivers are cr@p..... and yes... I am generalising here, I realise not all of them are, but for the most part, they are hesitant, they prefer to do their makeup and play with their hair rather than concentrate on the road in front, to the side and behind them, they don't seem to understand staying to the left rule on a dual carriageway or motorway (but then again, the over 50's do that too) They also take way too long to park.
And what's all the weird sh.it with putting cushions and stuffed animals on the back seat? What the hell is all that about?
That probably sums up why there are no formula 1 women drivers along with a lack of sponsorship for any good drivers... after all no brand wants to be a laughing stock.

Britain's Katherine Legge will become the first woman in more than a decade to test an F1 car next month when she gets behind the wheel of a Minardi.
Red Bull's David Coulthard believes there is no reason why women drivers cannot line up on the Formula One grid.
The race is on for the world's established female competition drivers to grab one of the remaining 16 priceless places on the Formula Woman Nations Cup grid.
Applications have so far been received from 15 nationalities, with those drivers who have already signed up including Glenda Gorton (New Zealand), Clare Vale (South
Africa), Amanda Hennessy (USA), Annie Templeton (England), Margo Gardiner (Scotland) and Rachel Owen (Wales).
all quotes with regards to your question, but this is a sexist world and so they wont get the coverage of the media right away.

They are risk averse in driving situations, so have fewer bumps. Formula one drivers, by contrast, poise at the limits of risk throughout any given race. Males tend to be more able to cope with that specific situation, and are thus more successful in motor racing. Give a woman a risk situation that "matters", like saving the life of her child and she will perform as well, if not better than a male.

Actually there are some very good women race drivers, Not in F1 though but in Indy and drag racing. The Indy driver actually led for a while at the 500, finshed fourthe i think. Patricia Danica rings a bell.

It takes a whole lot of upper body strength to drive a formula one or champ car. Even the male drivers have to be very strong to control the car. You should know this.

nobody says that women drivers are good in the first place. Women are said not to drive good just like blonds are said to be stupid. I don't agree with any of them but think of this: while girls play with dolls, boys play with cars and when they get men, well they still do that ;)

Women are safer drivers, and that is well documented. Formula One driving is just fast. Faster doesn't equate safer.

"nicely, women everybody is undesirable drivers, they are in a position to't bypass into F1". i'm particular you will love my answer. precisely how many a protracted time of motor racing could be adequate to cajole you that as quickly because it includes F1 and the main suitable drivers interior the international, women human beings have their artwork cut back out for them? i'm able to think of of a few the clarification why women human beings may well be at a downside at this extreme point, I particular as hell won't be in a position to think of of a single undertaking of their prefer. yet I forgot, they are in a position to bypass down a drag strip quickly and win the Coca Cola 666 as quickly as each 30 years, fairly that's evidence adequate. Now i'm not being very style and that i've got continually had my maximum suitable luck with women human beings protecting my mouth close as quickly as I heard such crap yet i'm fairly uninterested with hypothetical questions and wishful questioning of this nature. particular o.k., particular , they are in a position to do it, they have not executed it so a strategies because of the fact it extremely is a male ruled international, boys play with toy autos and ladies with dolls, nicely, go searching you on the line. and then leap on your existence. the two a guy doing 50mph over the value cut back gets you or some gal attempting to regulate her 1000cc Fiat. playstation i've got raced lower back some gifted women human beings drivers in karts(make that one gifted driving force) yet whilst the going gets hard or they pass to autos and quite F3 they're only yet another driving force. If I could say "particular they have an equivalent probability to realize motor racing" interior the hobbies of not being considered sexist then i could not care much less if i'm. PS2 particular, you are able to grow to be an F1 driving force, you basically could tension swifter than some tens of millions of committed male drivers who're out to get you and one yet another. in case you like to grow to be an F1 driving force and nonetheless don't be attentive to such common stuff inclusive of "i'm I allowed?" you have a steep getting to understand curve.

Relatively fewer women are into competitive sports & maybe men have an edge in an adrenaline / testosterone fuelled world like motor sport.
