can i become a F1 driver even i'm a girl??

Answer 1

Come on Niky, you can do it, prove to the world that girls can also race in F1.

Answer 2

Yes, you can become a Formula One driver, but it will be extremely difficult. There are only 22 F1 drivers (24 in 1988) and a handful of test drivers, but there are currently no women among them.
Only two women have ever started an F1 race, Maria Teresa De Filippis (4 GPs in 1958) and Lella Lombardi (12 GPs in 1975-76).
Lombardi is the only woman to finish in the points at a Grand Prix; she scored half-a-point for finishing sixth at the shortened 1975 Spanish Grand Prix.
Desiré Wilson, Davina Galica and Giovanna Amati all attempted but failed to qualify for races. However, South African-born Wilson did win an F1 race of sorts in the short-lived British Aurora F1 series, which mostly featured older F1 cars.
Amati is the last woman to try F1, she tried to qualify for three races with tail-enders Brabham-Judd 1992.
If you are serious about becoming an F1 driver, you should start in kart racing and work your way up through the lower formulae, such as Formula Ford, Formula 2000, Formula Renault ... it will be expensive though and you must have driving talent.

Answer 3

If you do make it to Formula 1 (see other answers on how), you would be a promoter's dream. Bernie Ecclestone will be all over you (hopefully not literally) and I'm sure he will be the one who will help you to get into F1 (if he likes you, that is).
You will boost the TV audience and Grand Prix attendances, more women AND men will watch the races, someone will get very rich selling merchandise (hopefully you will get some profit out of it too).
Also, since female drivers tend to be lighter than males in body weight (sometimes by a margin of 20kg or more), that will give you a definite advantage in race strategy as you can put more fuel in the car.
Do men like getting beaten by women? Definitely not! Can you imagine someone like Montoya (who is no longer with us) beaten by a female driver? Imagine the tantrums he would chuck if that happened...would be very funny indeed.
I think it's just a matter of time to see women in F1 (there have been some, but none too successful). Be the first one to make it big!...before novelty value wears off.
Or how about female F1 drivers getting into cat fights and bitchy backstabbings? Do we like watching cat fights? Definitely yes!

Answer 4

If you are fast enough, but perhaps even more importantly if you are strong and fit enough. F1 cars put more strain on the body now than they ever have before. F1 has been trying to capture a female Audience for quite a while now, I think a female driver would fit the bill quite nicely, don't you?

Answer 5

Yes, if you have what it takes to be a F1 driver. Feel for machinery, speed behind the wheel, magnificent car control, huge resistance and physical strength (some F1 drivers can pull 50kg weights about 20 times with their necks!!), and you're an easy person to work with. And another important element is the one that is Renault's logo: Team Spirit. You have to know how to work in harmony with everyone in the team, how to relay important information to them for the design and development teams to use in making new elements of the car and so on.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yeah

Answer 8

Of course you can. If you're still young enough, start with go-carts. Be prepared to run into a lot of pigs as you get higher into Formula One, because it's still a bunch of losers who think you are only there to entertain them. But they'll die off and give way to today's boys who are sharing the go-cart track with girls.

Answer 9

yes you can..i think there have been five female formula one drivers

Answer 10

yes you can....if you are very good driver the better your chances
