鈥榃omen deserve own F1鈥
Print Edition
LOTUS development driver Carmen Jorda has backed F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone’s proposal for a women’s championship, saying it made perfect sense.
Jorda, who this year became only the second woman to earn a back-up position with an F1 team after Susie Wolff at Williams, said that women deserved a fair crack at a world title.
“I think Bernie has a good idea,” the Spaniard said. “It will be great for us. They have men’s and women’s in other sports so why not us? It’s not fair to say we need to race against men. Why? To be behind them?”
Wolff herself has voiced opposition to a women’s F1 series, insisting she wanted to continue racing as a “normal competitor” and questioning whether it would be possible to find a full grid of drivers. Jorda questioned her British rival’s stance.
“At the moment she’s not competing,” shrugged the 26-year-old. “She’s just testing, so if she wants to compete (a women-only championship) will be really good. To be honest I don’t know why she’s against it because she could become a world champion,” added Jorda. “I’ve been racing since I was 12 and have seen so many women trying to make it. No one made it to the top. It’s worth it to give us a try as Bernie suggested.”
