Formula 1: Jamie Chadwick says testing F1 car is 'highlight' of career

Jamie Chadwick said getting the chance to test an F1 car is a “highlight” of her career as women continue to make gradual inroads into the sport. Women have driven F1 cars in total for decades, but only a small number have entered full Grand Prix weekends—and just two have gone on to race. Maria Teresa de Filippis debuted in 1958 at the Belgium Grand Prix, finishing 10th, while Lella Lombardi scored points in 1975. Chadwick, who now leads the F1 Academy, argued that women are “capable of competing” and that talent shouldn’t face a fixed timeline due to limited seats.
