The More than Equal initiative, a global development programme created to assist women’s progress toward Formula One and in motor racing, has announced its first ­selection of female drivers.

The six have been identified as those showing the greatest promise who will benefit the most from taking part in what is considered a unique approach that uses Olympic-style ­talent ID to foster female participation and advancement in motor sport.
