Women in Formula 1 - Declan Webster - Bog

Why is Formula 1 so inaccessible to women? What are the challenges and barriers that they face in pursuing their racing dreams? And what are the stories and achievements of the women who have defied the odds and made their mark on the sport? This book explores these questions and more, by tracing the history of women in Formula 1, from the pioneers like Maria Teresa de Filippis and Lella Lombardi, to the trailblazers like Desiré Wilson and Susie Wolff, to the future stars of the F1 Academy, a new all-female series launched by Formula 1 in 2022. It also examines the cultural, social, and technical factors that influence the participation and performance of women in Formula 1, and the initiatives and efforts that are being taken to promote diversity and inclusion in the sport.
