women are useless at anything like this, car racing football etc, even the pros at the top are barely better than the average male

Fee on here seems to do pretty well.

Sabine Schmidt would also hand you your ass around the Ring in that Ford Transit she drove on Topgear.

actually she went slower in that then my lap in the puma

of course there are exceptions to the rule, but that women is meant to be a pro in an f1 car, im not so making that comparison is ridiculous. Stick a bloke in there with equal experience and see who wins

same with womens football, looks barely better than sunday league

theres meant to be a scientific reason though why, something to do with part of the brain not being as developed as blokes that handles hand eye coordination and spatial awareness

I suspect anti-stall kicked in (increases revs) as she lifted off and with it being in gear lurched the car forward. Although from what i remember, anti-stall should bring the clutch in.

Edit - Not because she's female but as a driver, she is actually shit. In the lower formulas there are a handful of female drivers that are handy and could easily move into F1.

Do you think she would be able to drive your Puma around the Ring quicker than you?? Or do you think you could drive a transit around the Ring quicker than her??

Would be a serious rookie mistake if she jabbed the accelerator coming into the pits. Rather it's a failure of something or anti-stall kicking in. Nothing has been said about the cause anyway.


Bit more info from a reporter on the scene - Audioboo

One of the released pictures - Twatter Pic

I've been driving again for about 10 days, a few times I've been cut up and said "bet that's a woman driver" and it was every time.

Not to say that men can't also be retard drivers though

I think she's had very limited time testing the Marussia and don't think she had any at Lotus/Renault (could be wrong). Either way she wouldn't have made it as a driver, far too shit as a driver.
