Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone expressed his desire to see a parallel championship for women drivers at this past weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix, telling The Guardian, “I thought it would be a good idea to give them a showcase. For some reason, women are not coming through – and not because we don’t want them. Of course we do, because they would attract a lot of attention and publicity and probably a lot of sponsors.”
“It is only a thought at the moment but I think it would be super for F1 and the whole grand prix weekend.” The problem with the proposal is unlike most other professional sports, racing provides avenues for men and women to compete against each other on level playing fields.
