I've seen women at the gym who can break Norris in two, as if he was a tiny little twig. There is no reason why a woman couldn't be just as strong or just as good as anyone on the current grid.
I'm not an expert(nor is ANYONE commenting lol)but I'd say it's not the steering inputs but the g forces a girl couldn't handle. Most men couldn't handle it. Also, this girl is a teenager with zero experience in any of these cars so she also does not know what she is talking about. She races in Porsche sprint and was in F1 academy which is basically F4
Yeah this old story again…. Maybe it is for the same reason no sane person would a man fight against a women if both are professionally trained fighters. It biology, men are stronger in every physical way, so HTF should it be possible to mix them when racing is a physical demanding sport? You can't tell me there are no rich families out there that would be able to fund their daughters racing careers and yet none of them has risen to the top yet …
In the lower formulas, you need some serious upper body strength as there is no power steering. In F1, it's everything else, isn't it? Super strong neck for the Gs. Super strong legs for the braking. You must be super strong and super fit to endure an hour forty -five of high G force. I think that upper body and legs and neck strength training needs to be taken to another level for girls from an early age. I'm guessing that it takes longer for women to develop the same strength as a man. A stand out woman driver will come, but it won't happen tomorrow.
So basically youre all saying women cannot be good drivers unless they how power steering? Why should be want a woman driver if they cant even drive f2?
An F1 helmet weighs approximately 5.2 lbs (2.4 kg), but under the G-forces experienced during cornering, it can feel significantly heavier, up to 6.5 times its normal weight due to the forces acting on the driver. This means it can feel like it weighs over 30 lbs (13.6 kg) during intense cornering.
Unfortunately for women, there’s a driver weight limit. it’s dangerous for them to get even underneath 10% bodyfat, on top of the struggle of gaining muscle and the strength with that muscle compared to a man. They’d need to be bigger to match the strength a man has, and weight is so important in F1. It’s not sexist, the cards are just genuinely not stacked in their favour
I don't believe it's just the physicality (though that's definitely a large part of it.)
I believe the biggest reason we don't see female f1 drivers, is there just isn't nearly as many girls getting into racing and carting at a young enough age as boys.
To use the debate that avg Joe couldn't beat Serena Williams in tennis or win female 100m at Olympics, bit the best females are still no match for best males. It's not rocket science, on avg mems bodies are stronger, take those bodies & push them to the max the gap between the best men & best women is greater
FF one were easy everybody would be doing it, but it’s at the top so don’t say oh it was lower on the graph. Women just wanna be equal like men, but as soon as they’re equal and receive more responsibility than men, they back down from it so the women are just being hypocrites no women in F1 please for the love of God..
Dude, there have been women in F1 before, let’s not forget this. And they drove in a time when I guarantee without a shadow of doubt it was much, much more physical to drive, without power steering. Give Doriane Pin a damn test in an F1 car, C’mon now, little ridiculous with all this talk and no show. Either Gabby or Doriane can handle, I guarantee it
Bruh, it's not about the mechanical steering, it's the repeating g-forces when turning and especially braking. I drive a 90s toyota without power steering, I guess I'm fit enough for f1 😂😂
She doesn't understand that F1 steering is power assisted, so the physical input into the wheel is bound to be lower. However, the G-forces in the corners are massively higher, which is what is referred to by physicality.
Sophia wasn't struggling yes, like she's not the best female racing driver out there and was better then some of the men who aren't the best male racing drivers either, i think the breakout female driver will just be harder to find because they may never have an interest in even starting and the sample size is so small
This girl is a little bit overestimating her skills and strenght. Maria de Villota was bigger and strenghter than this girl and never couldn´t drive a f1.
We will see if when a women driver is among the top 20 fastest drivers in the world. It won’t happen ever unless for virtue signaling reasons. Too much neck muscle and brake pressure required.
Here is the solution. Just create an exclusive series only for disabled. I am sorry, I mean for people with special needs. I am sorry again, I mean for women only. Nobody will watch it but you get DEI points.

When? Never.

I think women not being in formula is more of a cultural thing rather than a physical sport.
The day they can admit there own mistake they will 😂😂
Pathetic when F1's steering effort is not only the easiest but the easiest by far. F1 is pathetic.
We need more woman in racing

yeah, never going to happen.

The only part of a woman that can take a pounding unfortunately can’t drive. It can get driven, plowed, and opened up like a tunnel, but can’t drive.

Lets not waste our time with this topic anymore
Why can't some people accept there's an advantage of gender?
I think Danica Patrick could have driven an F1 car competitively. I think she can qualify within 105% of P1 driver to make the grid.
I don't believe it's just the physicality (though that's definitely a large part of it.)

We will have the fist driver when someone like Lawrence Stroll decides that their daughter will drive

The cope.
Its the gs.
We’ll definitely have more crashes at slower speeds

Neck strength not steering…..I hope soon. That would be cool….
Take them to F1, it is less physical than F2 😂
Bruh, it's not about the mechanical steering, it's the repeating g-forces when turning and especially braking. I drive a 90s toyota without power steering, I guess I'm fit enough for f1 😂😂
Most Men are struggling physically.
Banger OST choices, MHGU and UNI OST are fire.
Sophia Flörsch last drove F3 in 2024 and she finished 29th overall.
They can be grid girls if they want.
women are weaker then men in terms of strenght.. is that difficult to understand ?
It's not the steering. It's the g-force, the braking and the heat.
Wow man and woman are different
She doesn't understand that F1 steering is power assisted, so the physical input into the wheel is bound to be lower. However, the G-forces in the corners are massively higher, which is what is referred to by physicality.
NEVER! 😂
It's not about steering it's about speed and consistency
We will see a female driver in F1 soon, the new cars are just like a F3 car with batteries from BYD.😂
what physical? F1 drivers are skinny as sh*t
which episode is this?
Explain how this makes sense they’re saying because of formula 2 which is the easier sport, they can’t get to Formula One, which is the harder sport?
