She’s the development driver, not the test driver (that’s Nissany because... well, money). The issue for her is that Williams signed a second development driver as well, and Dan Ticktum is a legitimate talent. That’s not showing much confidence in her abilities by Williams, which basically confirms that they signed…

That’s true. Though it shows Stroll’s Achilles heel: qualifying. He’s so bad at it that no team would sign him if he didn’t have money. I mean, when stating the reasons why Sirotkin couldn’t stick in F1 (and there are many), it’s unfair to omit the fact that he had a disadvantage in the ‘number of teams my dad owns’…

You probably need to read my post again, since you basically just said what I said, only more angrily.

It’s already been well established that it’s actually the other way around: the payout in the W Series is insanely high compared to other, more competitive feeder series. The winner of the W Series gets about 4 or 5 times the prize money than the winner of the FIA F3 Championship.

You’re severely underestimating the skill level discrepancy between top-level W Series driver and Kevin Magnussen & Romain Grosjean. As in, the W Series winner would really struggle to make the 107% rule in F1, even in a Haas which usually is a top 10 capable car in qualy.

Yes they can, and they do. But the painful reality is that there hasn’t been a woman who’s managed to really compete with top level feeder-series talent. Which is why they created the W Series: to get these ladies some exposure, and probably hope that more girls will get into the sport.

Had you heard of Jamie Chadwick before the W Series started? If ‘no’, then there’s the reason the series is working.

It’s an interesting, but very tricky, debate. W Series or support in existing series?

Here’s one reason why: it’s fun, but not very good.

No they’re supposed to formally quit the royal family. Which isn’t what they’re doing.

Nine of them seem to be made up of relatively happy & functional families.

I haven’t read the Best Original Score nominations ever since Under The Skin wasn’t nominated.

‘We gave permission to invade’ is quite a leap from ‘the US told him they wouldn’t take get involved in a border dispute’. Also, he didn’t just invade, he annexed Kuwait.

Alanis announced yesterday that she’s leaving for Business Insider.

This school bus at The Henry Ford Museum is from 1927 might just be the oldest still existing in the U.S.

Call me conservative, but I really feel like Marvel it overdoing it now with their Universe.
