The Woman of
Bernie's Dreams
by Thomas O'Keefe, U.S.A.

A few weeks ago, Bernie Ecclestone told Atlas F1 he doesn't believe women will make it into Formula One, simply because there aren't any women coming up through the ranks. But there is one woman down there, and if it's up to her - she will prove Bernie wrong in just a few years...

In a recent interview with Bernie Ecclestone published in Atlas F1, the Formula One Supremo expressed his reservations of women ever competing in Formula One, pointing at the absence of a pool of women coming up through the ranks and asking, "where will they come from?"

In the wake of much public comment on that aspect of the interview, I sought Bernie's further views on the subject and he confirmed that he is not against having women in Formula One; indeed, he mentioned that he thought Giovanna Amati, the most recent aspirant, "was as quick as many of the men" when she competed in F3000. Bernie explained that he was simply being pragmatic in describing "women's difficulties in becoming accepted in Formula One. They need to come through the lower Formulas as the boys do. I am sure that if there were the same number of women entering motorsport as men, we would find a competent female driver."

She will race F1 if she decides to...Sponserships and endorsments may play a factor in how fast she gets on the F1 circuit.

 

[Peter]

in all honesty for whatever team would take her it would be a very big publicity coup for them.

 

[Fleege]

yeah it would. As the trumpster would say it would be uuuge.

 

[Fkrule]

i think it is better with just men

 

[Peter]

what difference does it make Fkrule?

If someone is good enough to race formula 1 cars competetively what does it matter wether they are male or female.

I think this board would be better without sexists, thats simply my opinion.

Formula one needs a bit of diversity to make it remotely interesting anyway, it is one of the most boring sports ever conceived. Repetition, repetition ,repetition......is all you are left with if you look past the testosterone driven engine revving. Plus all serious competition has been driven away by proposterous regulations, its simply no longer a spectator sport.

Take that recent fiasco at the American Grand Prix, £££ came before everything else when the consensus was to completely disqualify teams for thetyre problem rather than attempt to make a decent race out of it. This during the inaugural race in the States. That seems to be particularly short sited to me but on the other hand I suppose a great way to increase your FAN base....not!! :bah:

The teams were never disqualified, they were told by their tyre manufacturer that their tyre could not handle the speed of the circuit (and had actually caused 2 major crashes) and it would be dangerous to race. On this the teams decided not to race.

For this the tyre manufacturer has paid heavily, they have refunded ALL ofthe ticket holders for that race AND promised them free tickets for next years race.

This was neither the FIA's fault NOR the teams (although the teams are responsible for who they chose as a tyre manufacturer and I am sure that will be reflected when the tyre contracts start to expire). The fault lies with the maufacturer themselves for taking the wrong tyre to the race.

sorry what planet are you from. I dont get it. why would it be better without a woman if she was qualified. what kind of argument is that.

I dont care about my domain speculation - I just would like to see her go all the way.

F1 is indeed exiting. You just have to commit and really have look for the goodies at times. Politics money and stupidity has been robbing F1 appeal. I hope it can come back on track like the american racing series where the fan is really taken into consideration.

i think it is better with just men

What an absurd statement.
Do you have a reason for this other than prejudice?

How would you even know what gender is driving the car?

She is a better driver than the majority of the men out there.

I say good luck to her.

 

[Fkrule]

yeah men are are more competetive how many people think she can be a driver like montoya even if she does get to f1 she will be stuck at the wheel of a marndi or jordan

 

[Fleege]

I do - at the very least she deserves the chance to prove you wrong if she can remain competitive in IRL which she has been - WHERE EVERY TRACK IS NEW TO HER.... Isnt there a cricket game on or something...

 

[Fkrule]

fair enough we will se but do you think she can win the championship

 

[Peter]

fair enough we will se but do you think she can win the championship

in the same respect do you think that half (if not more) of the drivers currently in the F1 circuit have a hope in hell of ever winning the championship?

 

[Fkrule]

fair enough we shall see if see makes and is good enough.
