Women Drivers in F1 History
Women Drivers in F1 History
Did you know about these women who participated in Formula 1? I'm not talking about the F1 Academy, but actual Formula 1 Grand Prix races, and one of them even scored points. This happened at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix where Lella Lombardi finished in 6th place, and so far, she is the only woman in the history of Formula 1 to have scored points in the championship. Before her, the best achievement for women in F1 was by Maria Teresa de Filippis, who finished 10th in 1958, but no points were awarded for that. Since 1992, women have not participated in official Formula 1 races as main drivers, but sometimes they are entrusted with the role of test drivers. Among them was Toto Wolff's wife, Susie, who took part in a Friday practice session in 2014, becoming the first woman to do so after Giovanna Amati, a Grand Prix participant.
