What is female formula 1 drivers?

Female Formula 1 drivers have been relatively rare throughout the history of the sport, with only a handful of women ever competing in a Formula 1 race. The first female to compete in a Formula 1 race was Maria Teresa de Filippis in 1958, followed by Lella Lombardi in the 1970s. More recently, Susie Wolff was a test driver for the Williams team, and Carmen Jorda was a development driver for the Lotus team.

There is currently one female driver on the Formula 1 grid, British driver Jamie Chadwick, who is a development driver for the Alfa Romeo Racing team. Despite the challenges faced by female drivers in a male-dominated sport, there is growing interest and support for increasing diversity and inclusion in Formula 1, which could lead to more opportunities for female drivers in the future.
