F1 LIVE: Max Verstappen lucky to escape punishment as Daniel Ricciardo ‘decision made’ | F1 | Sport

Jamie Chadwick has given her opinion on the prospects of seeing a female F1 driver, claiming that the sport is still way off.

The British driver, who has been racing in the IndyNXT series, told Sky Sports: “Already, we are seeing more and more, but at the moment we are lacking that feeder series through and up to F1 for women.

“We are getting closer, but we are way off. The likes of the F1 Academy will make a big difference. It’s still on my mind. I always want to compete at the top level of my sport.

“I want to be there on merit and for the right reasons. It relies on me having success in Indy NXT and from there seeing it very much short-term. The long-term goal is going to the top, but it’s about taking it step by step.”
