Seriously the women in the W series didn’t get. Payed for last year?! Rediculous !

i am infuriated by the w series’ cancellation.

but unlike some people, i do not think that putting even w series’ most outstanding drivers directly into a formula one car would benefit anyone.

w series has some of the most outdated technology in car racing right now. putting someone who is used to a car that barely functions at the level of anything in formula 3 into an f1 car is not only possibly dangerous, but could stand to put a driver completely out of their depth.

no one deserves to be thrown into the deep end like that. give them a chance to stretch their legs in a car that actually has an engine with over 270hp, which is 110 less than an f3 engine. give them a chance to use pirelli tires instead of hankook. give them equal equipment so they can fully grow and progress, as all drivers should.

these women are incredibly skilled. once given the same equipment and sponsorship opportunities as hundreds of men have been given before them — they can and will climb the feeder ladder quickly.

but the fact that they have climbed so far already, just to be knocked down again, is purely shameful. i pray that if nothing else changes, w series is set back on track for 2023.

we need to hold the major sponsors of single-seater racing accountable. we need to hold our drivers in the formula categories accountable.

women have moved so many stones to make motorsport better for everyone, and yet they are still treated as an afterthought.

Can't Red bull racing fund W Series so they don't have any money that could get over the budget cap, since they did already throw their only female out pf their academy after 1 year

W Series to not finish 2023 season

The latest W Series race was held at the Marina Bay in Singapore, becoming the series’ first night race but it has also become the ending of the championship for the 2022 season. There was to be three more scheduled races at Austin and Mexico City, but they have been cancelled as the required funding that they were to receive from a recent investment hasn’t been received which has forced a quick…

Jamie Chadwick crashes in Singapore W Series as Beitske Visser wins

Beitske Visser came second in the inaugural W Series season in 2019 Beitske Visser earned her first W Series victory of the season in Singapore as Jamie Chadwick missed out on third title win. Chadwick was in contention to win her third consecutive title, but will have to wait after starting the race in eighth and crashing in the final laps, her first W Series retirement. Briton Alice Powell finished second with Spaniard Marta Garcia in third. Chadwick leads the championship by 57 points, followed by Visser. The W Series' continuation is in doubt after it announced financial difficulties. This may result in the drivers not receiving prize money and it is yet to be confirmed if the final two rounds in Austin and Mexico City will go ahead later this month. via BBC Sport - Formula 1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/

I feel like you might be the perfect person to answer this question because I really love reading your pieces about all the different aspects in motorsport so I apologize if you do find answering these things tedious but other than Beitske Visser, has Redbull ever signed any other women to their driver academy?

Because I tried to google this and Beitske was signed in 2013 (or at least the announcement was in 2013, from what I read) and this is an academy that has brought so many drivers to F1 and people make fun of for having so many juniors in F2 this year that you can’t tell who’s who because it’s just all Redbull liveries, I find it strange that I couldn’t find anyone other than her in ten years.

It almost feels like if any junior academy could support a young female driver, it would be them because they have such a large history of juniors that have gone through various of the junior categories.

I was just thinking of Redbull in particular because Ferrari and Mercedes do have women in their driver academies at the moment.

If you do answer this, thank you, I appreciate you!

p.s. sorry if the writing is busted, english isn’t my first language

Hello anon,

Thank you for asking and you're right; Beitske was the only woman ever signed to the Red Bull Junior Team. At the time I think she was the only woman ever signed to an F1 junior academy, although Simona de Silvestro was in a programme to get a Sauber seat.

Beitske got a single season in German F4 with the academy before she was dropped. It helped her raise enough of her profile and sponsorship to be able to do Formula Renault 3.5 and a tiny bit of GP3 but she was always desperately short of cash, which in Formula Renault (where testing was basically unlimited) means you're at a huge disadvantage.

When it comes to the Red Bull programme it's more surprising that Beitske was ever signed than that no other woman has been. At the helm of the programme is Helmut Marko, a doctor of law who certainly makes some wild fuckin claims. In 2019 he came out with this BS which, honestly-

"Wheel-to-wheel fighting at 300 kph (186 mph) means you must have some brutality," Marko told the Kleine Zeitung newspaper. "I don't know if that is in the female nature." "These are huge physical demands," Marko added. "And that is maybe too difficult and too strenuous for women."

[x]

Says a fella who was racing when half the drivers had a few whiskeys before getting in the cars.

It's not the first time Marko's come out with crap like that and he says it often enough and brazenly enough that all the Big Men of the paddock can nod their heads and say "at last, someone brave enough to stand up to the woke contention grown women would be capable of something noodly-armed teenage boys who are 80lbs sopping wet and terrified of spiders can do. "

So, yes: sadly, it's very unlikely we'll see Red Bull's Junior Team backing any more women in the near future. And I'm not sure where Beitske's career's really ended up - I was really hoping she'd get a GT drive but nothing quite seems to be coming together. She was BMW's reserve in Formula E for years but then BMW pulled their classic move of deciding they weren't doing motorsport anymore (only to come back six months later) so that didn't work out.
