This was a huge boost to not only Chadwick’s hopes of reaching F1 but also the hopes of seeing a female F1 driver on the grid for the first time since 1976.īecause of the COVID-19 pandemic, W Series was not held in 2020. In May 2019, Williams Racing announced that Chadwick would join the Williams Driver Academy. The following winter, Chadwick finished fourth overall in the Asian F3 Championship, ahead of current Haas F1 reserve driver and F1 grand prix finisher Pietro Fittipaldi. She ended her time in the UK with a highest championship finish of eighth over two years in the series.Īfter her stint in the UK, Chadwick spent the winter of 2018–19 competing in the MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship, which she won by 37 points with six wins across 15 races. Jenner Racing’s Chadwick is an obvious choice for inclusion on this list, and rightfully so as a two-time W Series champion, with another championship victory looking ever more certain this season.Īfter competing in Ginetta Juniors and British GT, Chadwick began her single-seater career in 2017 in the BRDC British F3 Championship.
#F1 DRIVERS 2021 PLUS#
Here are F1 Feeder Series’ top three picks for a future F1 seat, plus some honourable mentions. So with these achievements in other high-level motorsports series, it’s only a matter of time before a talented female driver makes it to Formula 1. And most recently, the Iron Dames made history as the first-ever all-female lineup to win their class at the 24 Hours of Spa. Michèle Mouton finished second in the World Rally Championship in 1982, Danica Patrick became the first-ever Ind圜ar race winner in 2008, and Sophia Flörsch has finished on the podium in the 20 editions of the European Le Mans Series. The presence of W Series has pushed the message that men and women can compete equally in motorsport, and there are multiple drivers throughout all of motorsport who have proved this idea to be true. The motorsport world may be historically dominated by men, but that is slowly starting to change.
