        No reason why women can’t succeed in F1, so long as they have the skill, aptitude, strength and physical stamina. The only thing racing teams are interested in is ability and success so if women are not represented don’t blame men.

        The only point I have to raise here sir, is that every f1 team is run by men, and it would take a brave decision to sign a female driver, the talent exists, so why hasn't any of them been signed up? I am a man btw!

        I’m afraid you are wrong on that point. Claire Williams is the Team Deputy Principal of Williams F1.

        Actually I’m fully aware of that fact, but are you aware as to who ultimately would have the say on signing a female driver, as a main role within the team, not just a test driver or reserve? Because the answer you are looking for is, it isn’t Claire!

        Ha ha! I have meant you no disrespect, it’s always good to have an open debate. All I can say to you is that my previous comments are based on facts and personal knowledge, certainly not hearsay or gossip!

        No problem. I personally would like to see how lady racers would do in an F1 team and if said teams are not selecting due to pre conceived opinions rather than empirical evidence, they could well be missing a trick. Good talking to you anyway.

        I totally agree. So hopefully, in time, changes will start to be seen. Modern F1 has got so many things right, but by the same token, so many things wrong! I would welcome the time when every team employs females in a wider, more senior role. It's a good a place to start as any.

        If there is a driver better than Hamilton or Vettel who happens to be a woman then that’s great. Rate people on their ability and not their gender.
