Work to help develop the next female F1 driver has taken a step forward after the first selection of young teenage drivers was announced for the pioneering More than Equal driver development programme, co-founded by former F1 driver David Coulthard.
The group includes six promising 13-14-year-olds from Australia, Austria, Czech Republic, Malaysia, Slovakia and the UK, who will all now follow a technical and tactical coaching and development programme that aims to accelerate at least one of them onto the Grand Prix grid.
With women now seen in many different high-performance roles, such as fighter pilots and astronauts, why not in F1? A new type of development programme The More than Equal Driver Development Programme takes an Olympic-style approach to both early talent detection and to providing an age-appropriate, high-performance coaching environment designed to maximise the potential of the female athlete. It is the first of its kind within motorsport built specifically with the female driver in mind.
