CAITLYN JENNER has revealed women “deserve” the chance to be behind the wheel of a car on the Formula One grid. But while Jenner has praised the women-only events, she wants to see a woman driver offered the chance to compete in F1. The W series is a development series, I want to see a woman in Formula One. Italian driver Lella Lombardi was the last woman to start an F1 race behind the wheel, doing so on 12 occasions between 1974 and 1976. In F1’s entire history, only five women have ever actually attempted to qualify for a race. Chadwick continues to be a development driver at Williams, and earlier this year signed to race for Jenner’s W Series team.
