It would be great indeed if she would be on the pace, but the candidate being discussed is questionable at best... so it may well be too bad to be true!

Are there any women drivers at the moment that could be considered good enough for a race drive?

Cos I certainly cant think of one (no offence)

I can't think of any on the European ladder, either. There are a couple of them on the Indycar ladder, trying to make the upgrade to the IRL (besides the 3 women already driving in Indycars), but I am not aware that any of them have shown the needed road racing prowess to have a legitimate shot at beating Jose Maria Lopez...

OK, who here thinks that Danica could beat Lopez?

The only one on the European ladder that i know of was Natacha Gachnang who competed in Formula 2 last season, she only managed to finish =23rd out of 27. (I know Katherine Legge as well but she drives in the DTM so, doesnt count)

There are 6 i know of on the indycar/american ladder

Danica Patrick
Sarah Fisher
Milka Duno
Ana Beatriz
Simona de Silvestro
Pippa Mann

Yeah. Last week I read something about Campos being interested in signing up María de Villota. ANyway, in my opinion the right choice would be Carmen Jordá, for..... obvious reasons!

[FliveGell]

Campos has a thing for female drivers.....heres a female F3 driver day/event he ran recently

I think we have something in common, henners!

Good pic GiuseppeF1, as usual!
The guy in the back with Campos is Bernie's and Flavio's best friend Alejandro Agag, the guy who apparently got him the F1 slot. AFAIK he is the owner of Formula 1 rights in Spain as well, and he is married to former president Aznar's daughter. Small-time business guy as you see...
Mid row left is María de Villota, back row left is Carmen Jordá, the most well known Spanish female drivers.

Alllllllright..

[effebrala]

Is Susie Stoddard still about?

Anyway, I thought Bruno was given seat 2, so wouldn't that mean it's a #1 driver they're looking for

Right, like I said, I can't think of any good enough ones on the European ladder...

Gachnang was also rumored sometime back, but please... they've GOT to be kidding.

[exeftWabreava]

There is a real cutsie pie who raced in the Fomrula Atlantic series and she led the championship - crashed in the last round and finished third - not a proper reflection. She ought to have won.

She is Simona de Silvestro from Switzerland.

As for the above picture - the blonde [right front] gets my vote :-]

[Ilaubuas]

Is Susie Stoddard still about?

She's also been in DTM for a few years, driving for Mercedes... but she wasn't at the Merc F1 launch so whether she's still employed by them for this year I don't know.

Yay, Nay, Yay, Yay, Nay, YAY.

Female driver could be good for F1, as long as she doesn't come last every race or do a Badoer. Whichever team takes the plunge to hire the first female needs to be smart and make sure that whoever it is can at least keep up, otherwise it will put women in the sport back 10 years.

I think I agree with your diagnosis

[zdlupikkkdi]

Isn't Simona the one on the right of the cockpit?

[paydayus]

Alessandra Neri, Maria de Villota, Carmen Jorda, Natacha Gachnang, Simona de Silvestro and Lucie Panackova.

[Plulpangepler]

Right, so I was ready to crack a joke about the 'least pretty' one being the fastest, then it turns out to be de Silvestro...the fastest one lol. Seriously though, talent talks, pretty tends to qualify on the last row of the grid. Ask Milka Duno about that.
