Download Stalled on the grid - why are there no female F1 drivers?
It’s one of the only major global sports that doesn’t have separate categories for men and women. And yet all the drivers on the F1 starting grid are men.
We’ll be asking whether the causes of motor racing’s gender divide are social, physical or financial.
And we’ll hear from two leading female drivers – Jamie Chadwick and Michelle Gatting - about the barriers they face on the road to the top.
Panel: Delyth Lloyd, Matt Warwick & Kate Beavan
Producer: Sam Sheringham
