In all honesty, because women are usually on the whole physically smaller than men, then there should be a minor advantage. Certainly there isn't a difference in the way their brains operate in this department.

The reason why you don't see all that many in the sport generally is that quite frankly in a lot of cases it bores the tears out of them, let alone wanting to actually drive in the sport.

It's the age old issue about sport.

If men and women were the same, why not unisex football matches, running, swimming, golf, tennis, cycling etc.

I appreciate that more men are fascinated by Motorsport than Women as the whole thrill of speed and danger in inherently part of the male psyche and makeup. At the age of puberty, Testosterone flows from out bodies like some sort of thrill magnet.

But again, that is not to say that a woman cannot succeed but that women are not predisposed to the sport and are not as suited to the extremes that F1 inflicts on the body as men are.
