The double W Series champion Jamie Chadwick has insisted she can make it to Formula One within five years, rejecting scepticism that such a goal was achievable made by the Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali
“It doesn’t really bother me to be honest,” she said of Domenicali’s comments that he did not believe a woman would make it to F1 within the next five years. “It is motivation if nothing else.”
The W Series was created to give female drivers a platform to show off their skills and has proved successful, now operating as part of F1 support races. Chadwick won the first two seasons and has since been taken on as a development driver by the Williams F1 team. This year, with five wins from six races, she could wrap up her third title at the next round in Singapore on 2 October.
