I wonder what she would have been able to achieve if she hadn't run into funding issue.

[–] Photographer 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well she's in F1 academy next year so we'll see how she compares to other drivers, but realistically dozens of drivers drop out every year due to funding and we've not seen any of them to be diamonds when given the chance.

She is? Where has this been announced?

[–] Photographer 2 points 1 year ago

The BBC news article about the test said she was driving for Aston in academy, but the sky article about her more recently doesn't say drive but "playing a role" so could be crossed wires between journalists or waiting an official announcement
