Aston Martin driver ambassador and former W Series racer Jessica Hawkins believes a woman will race in Formula 1 within a "few years", backing the F1 Academy to develop talent capable of fighting for seats on the grand prix grid.
Hawkins, who became the first woman in nearly five years to test modern F1 machinery when she drove the Aston Martin AMR21 in Hungary in 2023, discussed the timeline for a female F1 driver during an appearance on the Road to Success podcast.
