I know there have been several previous threads, but thought it was time to freshen things up under a new heading.

Women represent 50% of the population (75% in my household - hence my interest), but only a tiny percent are represented in motorsport, with a few notable figures in the history books.

With new initiatives, new faces and, it seems, a will to see more women succeed in all levels and areas of motorsport (not just drivers), perhaps we will can enjoy some constructive discussion about future talent.

I do believe that the current initiatives, and the level of interest to encourage more women to be involved in motorsport, will see those figures steadily improve in the coming years.

The F1 question is a tall order for anyone, but certainly in other formulae, sports/GT cars, etc, we should start to see more female drivers, engineers, and supporting roles.

It will be interesting trying to identify the future stars.

Yes, Pippa, Katherine and now Jamie - all British.
Even Danica came to Britain to learn her craft.

And, F1 Academy returns this weekend, at Barcelona.
