It has been reported by Alice Powell that the views which Bernie Ecclestone gave regarding women racing Formula F1 will limit their chances. Alice Powell is British racing driver of Formula F1. Bernie Ecclestone, boss of Formula F1 said, “Not physically be able to drive a F1 car quickly”. He further said, “wouldn’t be taken seriously”. On other hand, Alice Powell said that she is very confident that women will drive great in Formula F1 races. On talking with BBC Sport, she said, “Someone definitely needs to prove him wrong. Racing drivers are racing drivers and we know what the expectations are when we go into the sport.
“Bernie’s views aren’t ever going to change unless a female does make it while he is still in charge. I would like that to be me but I will stand by anyone who does do it.” Powell says Susie Wolff, who joined in four practice sessions for Williams at grand prix over the 2014 and 2015 seasons, benefited “a vocation” of piquing enthusiasm among ladies. The Scot was the primary lady to partake in a grand prix weekend for over 20 years. In any case, making it on to the beginning network is difficult, with just 22 of the world’s best drivers lining up for the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai a weekend ago out of the thousands who take up motorsport and hold F1 as their ultimate objective.
Chipping Norton-based Powell, the primary lady to score focuses in the GP3 Series, is a representative of Wolff’s Dare To Be Different activity and has met young ladies as youthful as seven who harbor longs for racing. Alice Powell said, “You should want to be encouraging females, because they do want to get into F1. I’m sure it will happen, but these comments from Bernie don’t help and they could put off sponsors when a quick female does come along.” She further said, “I don’t think you can make it to Formula 1 if you’re not somewhat good. You have to have talent to be able to drive the car.” Alice Powell is really confident about female drivers that if they are good they will drive best.
