The last woman to test an F1 car was the Colombian Tatiana Calderón, who was a test driver at Sauber and drove their car in Mexico in October 2018.
The all-female W Series folded after three seasons in 2022 due to a lack of financial backing but the F1 Academy, formed and backed by the sport’s owners, has declared its target of building a long-term route through the feeder series to bring a woman into F1.
F1 seems like the kind of sport where women can be on equal footing with men, so hopefully, the F1 Academy will draw the kind of sponsors they deserve. Who knows, perhaps one day F1 can settle the argument about who are better drivers, women or men.
