I do sort of agree but I think the problem goes deeper. There is still
this issue that woman drivers cannot be racing drivers because of some unexplainable reasoning. This year, we had someone from Ferrari saying
that there won't be woman drivers in F1.
The other problem we have is that the people paying for the TV shows are saying that no one watches woman sports. Which is true, we don't but the reason why we don't watch it is because it isn't shown on TV. A little
hard to watch something that isn't available to watch ...
All the lads I work with, who watch motor racing, all watched W-Series.

Not motorsports, but I tend to prefer women's ice hockey and women's
tennis to the men's version. Not quite as macho muscle and more finesse.
I'd possibly watch a woman's racing series. I've never seen the W series offered on my cable TV. Maybe I've missed it.
As long it was more like F1/2/3 and not Formula E. I'm just not a fan of
those short street circuit events. Too much like Go-karts for my liking.
We do have a situation where men tend to ignore women's abilities too
often. Stick to the kitchen, honey. There's no reason at all why women
couldn't compete in F1. Ferrari may be right, in that there's a
cascading sequence of events, starting with little money, little
opportunity and very little encouragement. Too bad Stroll wasn't a woman
who wanted to race F1. With her father's financial backing, she could,
perhaps, have made it all the way to F1.
