in 2012 there was an effort made to get grade school girls into F1, and that seems to have ended with that, as Google shows nothing the next year, or since

F1 Team Shift, a student-based team that will be representing the United States in the F1 in Schools World Championship this month in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

F1 Team Shift members Kelly Fitzgerald, Anna Awald, Claire McCoy and Sabine Saldanha designed and built a CO2-powered, balsa-wood model of a Formula One racecar that will compete in a 65-foot track against student teams from 34 countries.

The girls first formed a team in 2010 when they were students at East Cobb Middle School.

F1 in Schools is the largest, and most successful, educational initiative in the world, with 40 countries operating the programme, from Kenya to Kuwait, Kazakhstan to Vietnam and many more.

The power of Formula 1 and the challenge of designing, building, testing, and racing a miniature F1 car of the future has reached over 20 million students, with over one million involved each year from over 20,000 schools.


Team Shift's accomplishments in Abu Dhabi in November include:

Fourth fastest car in the world Nominated for Best Portfolio and FIA Women in Motorsports Award Placed 8th overall (33 teams from 27 countries) Won Best Sportsmanship Award


It was the first time a winning team was comprised entirely of girls. And Team Shift, as Kelly Fitzgerald, Anna Awald, Claire McCoy and Sabine Saldanha are known, completed the project in a time-honored fashion: after school, in a garage. For the 2011 competition, 40 percent of competitors were female, according to the program.

Some schools build the engineering program into their curricula, and students receive significant support. The members of Team Shift were not among them. “We had no school help,” Ms. Fitzgerald, the team manager, said in a telephone interview. “We did all of it outside of the classroom, in our homes and in our former teacher’s garage.”

Not that they were completely alone in the endeavor. When Team Shift entered the competition in 2011, they contacted the headquarters of Porsche Cars North America, in nearby Atlanta. After the students explained the nature of the project, in which they would use 3-D modeling software to design their racer, Porsche was on board.

Formula 1 announced a "W Series" exclusively for female drivers. Are there are so many women that want to race in F1? That want to, have the inherent talent, and can get sponsors, but not a ride? That's the point this race series seems to make. The only 3 things anyone needs to race, are a vehicle, talent, and money / sponsorship

" A series claiming to NOT need sponsorship, the abilities of all interested drivers will be assessed in order to find the best candidates for the championship." https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/aiming-for-f1-candidates-for-inaugural-w-series-named-66628/3222458/

.

a 'long list' of over fifty entries, includes FIA Women in Motorsport Advisor Carmen Jorda, British GT champion and British Formula 3 race-winner Jamie Chadwick and multiple Formula 3 winner Alice Powell. Sabre Cook is an Infiniti Engineering Academy winner and Betke Visser was highly rated as a kart racer.

HOWEVER

Higher-profile women racers such as IndyCar driver Pippa Mann, Sauber F1 test and development driver Tatiana Calderon and European Formula 3 driver Sophia Floersch - have stated their opposition to the women-only championship. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/aiming-for-f1-candidates-for-inaugural-w-series-named-66628/3222458/


A series of six 30-minute races at former European F1 circuits will be conducted in a 2019 Tatuus T-318 one-seater, provided by W Series, with a 1.8-liter turbocharged motor with adjustable aero. Each will be fitted with a Formula 1-style “HALO” safety device, providing the highest level of driver protection possible.

the series will be free to enter, interested applicants will be narrowed down to only 20 competitors, by having them take part in simulator appraisals, fitness trials, on-track testing, and more. The array of tests will be judged by some big Formula 1 names, such as David Coulthard, Adrian Newey and Dave Ryan.  https://www.turnology.com/news/new-w-series-in-search-of-first-female-formula-1-champion/

Coulthard said, “We at W Series believe that female and male racing drivers can and should compete on equal terms if they have the same opportunity and training – and we’re here to make that happen.” 

except of course, that men aren't given a "free to enter" "judged by some big Formula 1 names" contest to get into F1. So, this is ridiculous, farcical, and sexist... all in order to accomplish what? get women drivers who can't currently get attention from team owners and sponsors, and who must not be capable of competing in F1 - as I have no doubts that any winning driver is what a team owner wants more than they care about the presence or absence of ovaries - a race of their own in which men aren't allowed to compete with them? To do what? Prove they are, in the absence of male competition, worth a team taking the chance on to give them a ride in co-ed F1?

Just what part of that makes ANY sense?


The last woman to start a Formula 1 Grand Prix was Lella Lombardi more than 40 years ago, and there has never been a female Formula 1 Grand Prix race winner.  Giovanna Amati, was the last to try to qualify for a grand prix, for Brabham in 1992, but she soon showed her inexperience by spinning six times during practice in South Africa.

Not that I'm saying women weren't blacklisted by the powers that be that run car racing, or that they weren't prevented by sexist bigots from ever having a chance, I've never learned enough to know... on the other hand, 100 or so years of car racing, and no woman ever won an F1 grand prix race. So....  with all the countries, teams, owners, and filthy rich people that ever participated, women simply didn't stand a chance because they wear a bra? Well? What? Exactly what has prevented women from racing in, or winning, in F1, if not that the only winner is exceedingly the most talented race car driver at those speeds the world has ever sen competing at those speeds?


“We hope to transform the diversity of the sport – and perhaps even encourage more girls into professions they had not previously considered. This is a tremendously exciting time for motorsport in general and for women in particular, as we aim to bring the sport up-to-date and show the world just what women are really capable of. Many sports in which women and men compete equally also run segregated events purely to increase the numbers of women who participate. Until now, motor racing has been the only sport in which there were no separate series for women.” https://www.turnology.com/news/new-w-series-in-search-of-first-female-formula-1-champion/

Probably because in drag racing, there's no need for segregated racing, nor Nascar, or any other form of car racing in America... money gets it done, always has. Tell the daughters of John Force exactly what they need to compete with men in motor racing... I do believe they will simple say, money and sponsors and a race track. Nothing else.


More than 900 drivers have competed since the championship began in 1950 but only two have been women. The last official appearance was Lella Lombardi in 1976. South Africa’s Desiré Wilson raced for Tyrell in a non-championship meeting at Kyalami in 1981 and won a race in the short-lived British Aurora F1 Championship at Brands Hatch in 1980 in which F1 cars were competing https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/oct/10/w-series-formula-1-women-drivers-promote


The series is being funded by the Scottish businessman Sean Wadsworth, who ran a recruitment business until 2016. With the motor sport industry competitive and financially very difficult to sustain, the series believes it has lasting backing .

“We have investors and it is funded through equity,” Muir said. “We need to turn it into a viable business. Conversations with sponsors have been exceptionally encouraging. We want to reach as wide an audience as possible. We won’t be selling TV rights for a couple of years. We want to go on terrestrial and digital platforms. As a former investment banker I live by spreadsheets and I think this one looks fantastic.” https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/oct/10/w-series-formula-1-women-drivers-promote

W Series will provide identical cars for 18-20 drivers in season one (2019), all of whom will have entered and passed a rigorous pre-selection programme/examination involving on-track testing, simulator appraisal, technical engineering tests, fitness trials etc. The successful applicants will then be given a thorough training programme centring on driving techniques, simulator exposure, technical engineering approaches, fitness, media skills etc, all of it carried out by a group of experts with decades of Formula 1 experience, meticulously recruited for the purpose: David Coulthard (multiple Grand Prix winner); Adrian Newey (the most successful Chief Design Engineer in modern Formula 1 history); Dave Ryan (40 years’ Formula 1 experience in team management with the McLaren and Manor Formula 1 teams, as well having run his own GT racing team Von Ryan); Matt Bishop (15 years’ experience as a journalist and editor in Formula 1, followed by 10 years’ experience heading up McLaren’s communications, content, media and PR operation in Formula 1).
https://wseries.com/introducing-w-series/


David Coulthard said: “In order to be a successful racing driver, you have to be skilled, determined, competitive, brave and physically fit, but you don’t have to possess the kind of super-powerful strength levels that some sports require. You also don’t have to be a man." Then, why aren't there any women in F1?

the most rookie race of F1? 2013

because of the enormous turnover in the 2012 season, 5 drivers made their rookie start in 2013, and their were only 8 drivers starting at Melbourne with more than 2 seasons of F1 on their resume

In early 2007, Kimi Räikkönen entered and won a snowmobile race in his native Finland under the name James Hunt.

Kimi Raikkonen started and ended the 2007 season the same way on the track -- with a convincing victory. He also started and ended the 2007 season the same way off the track -- doing his own thing.

In early 2007, Kimi Räikkönen entered and won a snowmobile race in his native Finland under the name James Hunt.

The fact that he chose Hunt’s name – a former world champion and renowned party animal – looked like a window into the real, fun-loving personality he keeps hidden behind the dull, monotonous front we’re used to seeing.

 Raikkonen: “My friends and I had always joked about [entering a race as ‘James Hunt’]… My life would definitely have been much easier in the 1970s. I was definitely born in the wrong era.”

But not only did Raikkonen do it, win the snowmobile race, and get away with it, but he then went out and won the Australian Grand Prix as well.

Kimi, a reluctant student who used his schoolbag as a sled to slide down snow-covered hills, enjoyed winter sports, especially ice hockey, though he eventually gave it up because he hated getting up for early-morning practice.

WTH ? How do both front tires blow up simultaneously?

for the original version, click though on the video below, which will only play on youtube itself



After a review, the team discovered a suspension arm defect led to the entire right front upright collapse, which snapped the wheel tethers and created the dramatic effect

the money side of F1 you might not have heard about, entry fees and payouts

to compete in 2016, Mercedes had to pay the FIA an entry fee of $4.9 million in two components.

The first is a flat fee of $516,128

The second is calculated by multiplying the number of points the team scored during the 2015 season by $6,194.  “if you score a lot of points, the entry fee for next year is huge.”
the better a team performs, the more it has to pay just to enter the championship.

The price of success is such that although the winning team has to pay $6,194 per point, its rivals are only charged $5,161. It means that Mercedes’ fee is nearly two times higher than that paid by Ferrari, which came second in the standings.
...........................................................................................................................................................

F1 rewards the best performers and the longest-standing teams.

At the core of F1’s prize money is payment to the teams of 47.5 percent of the profit of the series. This payment is divided into two, with one half split among the top 10 teams in the championship on a sliding scale. The other half is split evenly and only goes to teams that have finished in the top 10 in two out of the past three years.

This bonus pot is known as the Constructors’ Championship Bonus fund and it comes to at least $100 million annually. It is guaranteed regardless of the results that the teams achieved the previous year.

The Economics of Motorsports: The Case of Formula One By Paulo Mourão

...........................................................................................................................................................

And Ferrari has a provision granting it a right, as the "longest standing team" that has competed in the World Championship for the greatest number of seasons since 1950, to a particular payout.

In 2017, it was 68 million in 2017.

Ferrari is paid that much to keep racing. Check the top of this post again... it costs around million in fees to compete in F1. Ferrari is still over 60 million in profit annually, to keep racing. After all costs of racing... and realizing that Ferrari doesn't have to advertise to sell cars, and sells a lot of merch... it's a profitable enterprise for them to remain in F1. If they stop, they'd lose a lot of built in revenue, and then, perhaps actually have to come up with a marketing budget.

Bernie Ecclestone has become a billionaire, not by inventing something or creating something. He took a sport that already existed and saw its potential before anyone else even gave it a thought. Over the years he has taken the product that is Formula One and developed it into the worlds second most successful sport. Ecclestone has gone from relative poverty to crossing the globe in his private jet and mixing with celebrities and statesmen alike.

how did a poor kid with a housewife mom and a fisherman dad come top own F1 and become incredibly wealthy, and internationally famous?

(the article was written without an editor, and if negotiations and negations are interchangeable, this writer was a genius, if not, the writer should be shot)

sport needs him more than he needs it. He protects the teams investments, resolves disputes and manages negations. Others have claimed that the sport would be more profitable without him and that Ecclestone is out of touch

Rainer Schlegelmilch is an F1 photographer, he's been committed to it for 55 years (thanks Steve!)

Rainer W. Schlegelmilch probably the most famous Formula 1 photographer, beginning with his first race in 1962, shooting at Nürburgring, and his first Formula 1 race was the Grand Prix of Belgium 1962 at Spa-Francorchamps, the 1st of about 600 GP races he photograhed

Schlegelmilch's archive of about 600,000 photos was recently bought by LAT, adding to their 15 million F1 photo archive of negatives, color slides and digital photos from 1962 to 2016.

In Monza in 2011, Bernie Ecclestone honored Schlegelmilch with a lifetime permanent photographer accreditation - the first and only one.

Here is why:

In early 1990s F-1 started to change, and that was a considerable, visible change. Federation Internationale de L’Automobile (FIA) undertook an “inventory” of all the media that wrote about racing. Grand prix events henceforth could only be photographed by journalists with a FIA accreditation, they had to be staff photographers of a limited number of newspapers and magazines with no less than 270 published stories a year. As for me, I never worked for any media: I was making books, calendars. So they kicked me out.

Bernie Ecclestone, the irreplaceable F-1 manager and FOM president, on hearing that I had lost my accreditation, offered me to become his own photographer with a permanent FOM pass. Because I was always in sight and around and was taking my work very seriously. In that status I have been shooting F-1 for over 20 years.

Portraits are an important part of F-1 photography. But pilots nowadays are too young, and very few can boast of an interesting face, of a personality. In good old days racers were aged 30 to 50, and those were characters with life experience. They were charismatic, and their faces were very expressive.

Schlegelmilch has also published more than 40 books featuring his images starting with "Grand Prix - The Fascination of Formula 1 (1969-1993)" which sold more than 130,000 copies.

Jim Clark, the only driver to have won both the Formula One and Indy 500 titles in the same year, is remembered by a newly expanded museum at Duns, Scottish Borders, that fundraisers have recently completed

Above, the glass walled expansion to the current "Jim Clark Room" museum

On the family farm in Scotland, in the fields and among grazing sheep, Clark developed his driving skills.

In 1956 (age 20) he bought a Sunbeam Talbot and began competing in local rallies. Within four years he was racing for Lotus in the 1960 season forming a winning partnership and friendship with Colin Chapman.

He won the World Championship first in 1963, then in 1965, and secured the top podium slot at 25 Grand Prix races. He was also the first British driver to win the grueling Indianapolis 500 race in America. In 1962 and 1964 he was deprived of two more championships due to mechanical failures in the last race of each season.

Clark’s tally of 25 victories was a record at the time and has only been surpassed by a handful of other drivers since then and none in as few races. His 25 wins came in just 72 starts, a win ratio bettered only be Alberto Ascari and Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1950’s. Only Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and more recently Lewis Hamilton have ever equalled or surpassed Clark’s tally of 33 pole positions in Formula 1, all in the modern era and none in so few races.

The Jim Clark Trust, working in partnership with Scottish Borders Council, is delighted to announce plans for a new expanded Jim Clark Museum to open by 2018. The project is supported by our Honorary President Sir Jackie Stewart and Patrons Club.

Plans for the new museum were announced at The Goodwood Revival by Lord March on Saturday 14th September 2013 as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of Jim Clark’s first World Championship in 2013 and a parade of the greatest collection of historic Jim Clark cars ever gathered to celebrate one of Formula 1’s all-time greats.

The aim of the new museum is to inspire the next generation and generations to come, with a modern and vibrant celebration of Jim Clark’s incredible career and impact on motorsport around the world with trophies, pictures, film footage and some of the cars in which he raced. Exhibiting the cars in which Jim Clark raced will be the highlight of the new museum with the existing trophy collection at its heart.

The goal of the new museum is to inspire the next generation and generations to come, with a modern and vibrant celebration of Jim Clark’s incredible career and impact on motorsport around the world with trophies, pictures, film footage and some of the cars in which he raced.

Did Senna spear Prost to win the 1990 championship, or was it only coincidence? Road and Track magazine says Senna admitted to it later.

If neither Senna nor Prost finished the race, Senna would win. Well... that was easy to arrange.

In 1994 and 1997 Michael Schumacher crashed into his championship rivals.

too old to what? best not speak it out loud, you might be shamed to be proven wrong. Rosemary Smith, takes an F1 around the Paul Ricard circuit.. The oldest person to ever drive an F1 racecar

The former seamstress, dress shop owner and thrill-seeker got her start in racing when one of her clients invited her to take on navigation duties in a rally car.

However, it transpired that Rosemary was the better driver. So they agreed Rosemary would navigate for the first couple of miles; they would then swap places, with Rosemary driving. Shortly before the end of the race, they would again change places. “This went on for years,” says Rosemary, “and we kept on winning.”

Rosemary was winning in the early 60's in her Hillman Imp: in Ireland, twice on the Alpine Rally; on the Canadian Shell 4000; and on the Acropolis Rally.

She won the Tulip Rally in 1965, and 50 years later, went back to race it again. She's the only woman to ever win it, since I hadn't heard of it, I looked it up. It passes through Europe's scenic and classic rally routes in Italy, France, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium, and finishes up in the Dutch town of Noordwijk .

Smith beat women’s team and men’s teams to become one of the best rally car drivers in the world, and even opened her own driving school.

So, when Renault Sport UK, as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations for Renault’s Formula One activity, invited Irish rally legend, Rosemary Smith to Paul Ricard Circuit to become, at 79, the oldest person to sit behind the wheel of one of their cars, a high-powered vehicle she’s never driven before, she couldn’t back down.

“The older you get, and you sort of think, well, time is sort of running out, so I’ve got to make the most of every moment,” she said.

Speaking of the experience Rosemary said: “Driving an 800bhp car is something I, like many other racers, have always dreamt of but I didn’t think I’d ever have the opportunity to do it, so when the team at Renault UK contacted me I jumped at the chance. It was definitely very different to the rally cars I’m used to but was an amazing experience. I could feel myself getting more and more comfortable with the single-seater and being able to speak to Jolyon, driver to driver, also helped when the nerves did kick in.

“After racing and facing the challenges of competing in a male-dominated sport together for many years I was so happy that my friend Pauline was able to share this latest milestone and give me that extra boost. It just goes to show that anyone can fulfil their dreams at any age if they put their mind to it and always follow their passions.”



Rosemary has a driving school in Kildare Ireland, for teens getting their full instruction before taking their license test. It's called the THINK for Transition Year and Secondary Students.

She also has a special course for nervous drivers that have anxiety about being on the road in heavy traffic, or in clamorous big citys, and a special course for older people getting back to driving after many years as a passenger.

the British Grand Prix this past weekend had 10 teams but 11 garages

That's because at the front of the pitlane there was a place reserved for the 'Cars' film where the likes of 'Lightning McQueen' were on display next to the Sauber team.

Although the cars never made it out on track, the computer animated film's voice actors were present including Owen Wilson, who voices McQueen, and Woody Harrelson, plus Lewis Hamilton of course, as he voiced the AI analyst for the character Cruz Ramirez who trains the Lightning McQueen character. In the other versions of the movie, the voice was provided by F1 stars Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso, who voiced the same character in the German, Italian, and Spanish.

The Disney-Pixar produced film made its debut in the UK cinemas this past, so in a marketing move the stars of the film will attend Sunday’s race along with the film’s director and producer.
