Interesting timing, right? :D For a person who had just as many super license points as I do (both of us still sitting on 0), I never understood why Susie got so upset that Williams didn't enter her in a race. Not only did Susie not have any super license points, she'd never won a race (outside of karts) in her life. To the best of my knowledge, Williams couldn't have, even if they wanted to, enter her into a race. I mean, that's just how F1 is set up. In order to race, your resume has to show that you are qualified. When Honda and Toyota were spending mega bucks in F1 and CART years ago, they often did mandate the placement of Japanese drivers in teams. True, quite a few of them were jokes. But at least they had won races, if not championships, in their home country.
IMO, little girls should emulate women like Angelle Sampey or Shirley Muldowney... not the likes of Susie Wolff, Danica Patrick, Carmen Jorda or Lynn St. James. Emulate winners, champions, victors. Shoot for being a victor, not a victim, who wants special treatment.
