ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tatiana Calderon does not feel any added pressure as the only female IndyCar Series driver at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. She has been the only woman driver in almost every race she’s ever driven.
She does, however, feel an added sense of energy that comes with knowing girls across the world can be watching her.
“I understand the last couple of years that I’m not only racing for myself anymore,” Calderon said. “I’m racing for the next generation, and I hope that I can open more doors for them.”
