Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

Real question, is there any physiological reason women would be better or worse at racing cars than men are? I don't know anything about formula one.
Or it is similar to chess, where it's mostly just that women have been socially crowded out of competing because they get mistrested
Alway speaking of averages in the following paragraph:
On average the reaction time of women is a bit slower than the one of men. But age plays quite a role as well, which doesnt seem to hinder Alonso or Bottas too much. Strength is probably not a problem I guess, maybe female drivers have to train a bit more? Else women have the advantage to men as they are smaller and lighter.
But of course the world top drivers arent average, so the question is a lot harder. There are very fast reacting women, small and light men, so no one knows.
Maybe the solution is to treat everyone the same and not hinder women just because of their gender. Then we will see who wins. But when the equal chance is reached, no one knows.
