OMG 😭😭

With the F1 Movie release lingering closer and closer, it’s time to have an uncomfortable conversation.

Forgive me for going all feminist on you (I’m not sorry), but have a seat and let’s chat, yeah?

Let’s discuss the negative impact this movie is going to have on women in motorsport as well as female fans, shall we?

Of course the obvious conversation is about the women working in motorsport. Imagine how poorly the plot is going to reflect on them. Why? Oh, well let’s see. You’ve got an entire plot that revolves around the main character (who’s played by a misogynistic wife beater, by the way, great casting choice!) sleeping with his fucking female engineer.

Now bear in mind how that’s going to negatively affect the PR of women working in motorsport. Especially Laura Mueller, who is the sport’s first ever female race engineer in its entire 75 year history. Who literally already has incels on the internet saying the only way she got her job is because she slept with someone.

And of course, consider the female fans.

There are so many of us out here every day fighting with male fans who think we “don’t know anything” and “only watch F1 because the drivers are hot.” We are constantly ostracized in this fucking sport and feeling like we have to prove that we’re even allowed to like it.

Can you imagine how poorly the F1 Movie will reflect on us?

All this movie is going to do is push the harmful, negative stereotype that F1 is a “man’s world.” It’s just going to make women feel like they don’t belong in a sport where they already feel shoved aside.

So, and maybe I’m being a little dramatic here, but if you happen to know a female F1 fan, please be kind to her. Please check on her.

And to all my ladies, we do belong in this sport. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 💜💜

While I'm thrilled that Hannah Schmitz and Laura Mueller are getting a turn named after them, the irony of them having to a share a turn rather than each getting their own is not lost on me. Or that it seems that the turn name will be temporary for one Grand Prix only.

[jurisfictional]

next time someone tells you women don't belong in f1, tell them about:

Maria Teresa de Filippis, the very first female F1 driver

Hannah Schmitz, head of strategy for Red Bull Racing

Bernie Collins, former F1 race strategist, now Sky Sports pundit

Susie Wolff, former F1-level driver and director of F1 Academy

Lella Lombardi, the first woman driver to score a point in F1

Claire Dubbelman, F1 deputy race director

Hazel Chapman, co-founder of Lotus Racing

Monisha Kaltenborn, former Sauber F1 team principal

Giovanna Amati, the last woman to race in an F1 GP (in 1992!)

Claire Williams, former team owner/principal of Williams Racing

Laura Mueller, first female F1 race engineer

Rosie Wait, head of race strategy for Mercedes F1

and so many, many more women who work behind the scenes in F1 technical roles & in the pit lane!
