Max: ARE YOU-  Kimi: Fucking.  Max: KIDDING ME?! YOU-  Kimi: Fucking.  Max: IDIOT!  George: …What was that?  Kimi: The FIA banned Max from swearing, so I’m helping him out.

every time someone tells you that women drivers don't belong in formula 1 because "they'd have to modify the cars to make it fair for women," remember that f1 constantly adjusts the rules to make the sport fair for male drivers.

this is a sport where being shorter and lighter = aerodynamic advantage. but that would disadvantage tall, heavy men! so what does the FIA do? they create a minimum weight requirement for the car and the driver. teams literally have to add weight to the cockpit to make up for shorter/lighter drivers.

this is a sport where the "formula" changes every few years. it's not about building the fastest car humanly possible — it's about building the fastest car possible within the regulations. those regulations can artificially control for ANYTHING. the formula has always optimized the safety and drivability of f1 cars based on the historical default driver: a man. why not have them make small tweaks that would equalize the cars for women?

and for everyone who says that women don't belong in f1 because they aren't as strong as men*, remember that f1 cars didn't have power steering for the first 40 years of the sport's existence. they have literally changed the formula to make the cars easier to drive—for men—before. they can do it again to make it easier for the sport to include women.

*also, many elite women athletes are more than strong enough to compete in f1.

obviously regulation changes alone won't fix women's representation in the sport — there's a pipeline issue, lack of funding for female drivers, sexism, etc — but they are possible without delegitimizing the sport.

This is the first accident caused by these absurd regulations. Ollie had to swerve to avoid Franco because he was going EXTREMELY slowly due to a dead battery. The FIA needs to come forward with answers and solutions.
