It’s truly saddening news that the W Series has been forced to curtail its 2022 season due to financial difficulty, not least because promoting female racers in our sport is more important right now than ever.
I can’t remember a time when Formula 1 was more popular, attracting new fans and followers to the sport all the time. Motorsport.com’s global fan surveys have shown there are more women following F1 than ever before. And while female representation in the F1 paddock – within the teams, on the pitwall and in the stewards’ room etc – is slowly growing too, there is zero sign of an F1-ready driver any time soon.
