Thats the whole point, a woman will have to beat head to head the best males in any given category and it simply has never been done, maybe its possible but so far it has never ever happened.
They have in sailing, and my point was that the reason for this is a sociological one, the physicality will not really hamper them, if the same amount of females karted and had the same ambition as males to be F1 drivers then you would see successful female F1 drivers.
look how far PC nonsense has gone, Women are not equal to men physically, that is a fact with so much evidence from 1'000's of years of history it's laughable that anyone with a modicum of intelligence would try and disagree with it. mental agility is slightly different, but even then men will usually lead their fields. I havn't said there won't be a female F1 driver, but I can't see it happening unless they drop their standards for commercial gain. Ernie, we tend to agree on lots of things, it's only where Hamilton is concerned that we vary.

Is that where my coordinates point to? I actually do not live there I just put them there for a bit of fun, put them in google earth and you will see why.
If there are Air Force (USofA) women flying four engine prop planes into hurricanes to map the eye, there should be enough strong women to be able to handle an F1 car. The problem, I think, is just lack of interest.
Mifune: Me thinks you attend the Technology University of Paris with an aeroplane probably a Mirage, thanks for the clue Cosi, parked in the campus. Mifune: The strong silent type with a penchant for protecting the weak LE3 1UG
flying a slow 4 prop plane into a hurricane is not the same as pulling 5 gees while doing 150mph and driving 12" from a car in front whilst looking for an overtake. Flying planes in a nearly empty sky is fairly easy (especially when you have a couple of co-pilots, a navigator and an engineer on board), my elder sister has a multi-prop pilots licence, she's **** on a track though, try as she might, even being 6st lighter she still can't keep up, neither can my younger sister, and they're no strangers to racing cars. Now, I'm not saying there isn't a woman that COULD be a challenger for F1, just that she will have to have a mans natural skillset. There is a vast difference between the sexes which seems to be ignored so people can say how liberal and PC they are, it's just plain dumb. If they believe it so much why don't they complain to every single sporting association and tell them to scrap all womens sport and have 1 championship for both sexes, that would settle any arguments once and for all.
Miggins: We are not talking about pilots flying regular planes or Sunday flying. I was referring to women who fly big planes, into, and through a hurricane; which I do not think you sister does - or many male pilots would. You need to be very strong to contol an airplane flying inside any hurricane. "Flying into the largest storms on Earth is all in a day's work for pilots on a NASA mission to explore hurricanes. It's a rather daunting job description: "Multi-engine aircraft pilot, substantial experience required, must be willing to fly into hurricanes." But some pilots with NASA's Convection And Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-4) do exactly that. With eyes wide open they deliberately fly over, around, and even into the biggest storms on Earth. These unusual aviators endure the dangers of flying through hurricanes in the hope that scientific data they collect will improve hurricane modelling and prediction, which in turn might help save property and lives. Instruments aboard the planes measure temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, lightning and ice crystal sizes - providing scientists with a hard-won view of the inner workings of a hurricane. "You pass through this build-up of clouds that literally fills the sky in front of you," said Gordon Fullerton, a highly decorated aviator and former astronaut who pilots a DC-8 aircraft into hurricanes targeted by the CAMEX-4 study. "Entering the storm, we're faced with rotating bands of thunderstorms as we fly at about 35,000 feet. A hurricane is just a group of thunderstorms circulating around a point called the 'eye.' You can pass through the eye and experience a calm as you observe thunderstorms circling all around you," Fullerton said. It may be true that the eye of the storm is cloudless and less windy than the rest of the tempest - but only someone like Fullerton with plenty of experience (and perhaps nerves of steel) could feel calm surrounded by most intense thunderstorms in the whole hurricane. It's a dangerous place to fly an airplane!" They fly WC-130J plane.
