W Series - Women Only Racing Series

[Jag_Warrior]

Lets not bring up the Susie Woolf discussion again. My point was she made the women in F1 situation visible, which l think is a very good thing.

I grant you that. But we both realize that she couldn't (and shouldn't) have sat in an F1 race seat, right? You're familiar with the great American classic, Citizen Kane? Susie was to Toto Wolff as Susan Alexander was to Charles Kane.

If a qualified female driver comes out of this series, one who can compete at the F1 level without special allowances, then that's great. I don't have an issue with that. In fact, I'd be happy to see an F1 paddock that has broader diversity than the one we have now. I'd be willing to bet that there's another talented kid (male or female, Black, White or Asian, Jew or Gentile, etc.) from Stevenage (or the Bronx or where ever) who has more talent in their little finger than Lance Stroll does in his whole body. Simply finding the female version of Lance is not what I want to see. More so than this all girls series being "the answer", I have greater hope that the various e-sports endeavors will help identify a promising racer of whatever gender, race or ethnicity... just because the initial barriers to entry in e-sports are so much less.
