David Coulthard, who recently co-founded the More Than Equal initiative to put women firmly into F1 seats with the potential to win “championships, not just races,” in his words, is definitely smiling.
F1’s new, all-female racing championship from 2023 - F1 Academy – will require drivers to contribute €150,000. Though most young drivers have struggled with sponsorship, especially since the COVID pandemic, female drivers are thought to be disproportionately affected by this issue. Speaking to Autosport earlier this year, Powell said that though W Series has done a great job helping women get race seats, and the championship’s work with FIA Formula 3 is also helping, funding can still be difficult.
“When I was a test driver in Williams I couldn’t turn the steering like Nigel Mansell,” he said. “I wasn’t strong enough. So my limitation was how much steering I could get on the car.
