Deegan to drive?

Dont think she has her F1 super license

 

[aunty dive]

She won’t be needing one.

What !! no LGBT team ... outrage

Just needs to win an Xfinity championship and two Cup championships in the next three years and she'll qualify for one.

That's part of the next '50% Left-handers / 50% LGBT' team. Speculation is that at least one of the team members will be a Lithuanian mulatto.

That would be a nice change.

I'll just see myself out...

Venturini had an all female crew years ago. Is this supposed to be big news or something?

How an All-Woman Pit Crew Helped Bill Venturini Take a 1987 Stock Car Championship

Venturini and the all-female Ultra Blue Crew were an unstoppable force to be reckoned with in the ARCA circuit.

It's F1. The cars are 21st century, the mindset is 19th.

It’s not a pit crew, it’s a whole team. Meaning hundreds of employees.

Granted, this team won’t come to fruition anyways. The vast majority of prospective F1 teams turn out to be vaporware.

I still miss the grid girls. It takes a special kind of stupid to be shamed out of having hawt wimmins around.

That's a ridiculous statement and you know that.

Why limit the team to 50% women?

I read your post as if you were suggesting there aren't any women working in F1. Sorry if I misunderstood.

What I liked about the grid girls besides the obvious, when their clothes would usually reflect the culture of the country.

Sorry for the confusion. I think it’s great the team is reserving slots for men, even if they’re just tokens.

I wish some of the money for stuff like this was put into providing women drivers with actual opportunities to move up the ladder. Forget building a chassis, how about just paying for an obvious talent like Jade Avedisian to sit in a USF2000 or SLM car for a season?

Focusing on all team positions doesn't require sacrificing the driver. An F1 budget has room to pay both a capable driver and competent crew, regardless of sex / gender / swimsuit area. If it doesn't then the team isn't going to succeed anyway, but that will be due to the administrative skills, not the technical talent.
