Alpine Launch Programme to Find Women Formula 1 Drivers by 2030

News 18  

Formula One’s Alpine team said on Wednesday physical ability is no barrier for women to compete in their sport as they launched a programme to have a female driver in the next eight years. That was backed up on Tuesday by Jamie Chadwick, champion of the W series, an all-female championship, who said reaching Formula One via its feeder series Formula Two and Three is “extremely physical." Alpine’s CEO Laurent Rossi, however, rejected that notion, as the team launched a programme to mentor women drivers. “We really have to be able to detect potential from as young as possible so they can follow the training programme," Alpine’s director of human resources Claire Mesnier said.
