Jamie Chadwick wants to reach Formula 1 within five years
The young double champion of the W Series driver has set herself the goal of reaching the top category as quickly as possible.
She is on her way to a third victory. Her talent is no longer in question in this category reserved for women, and James Chadwick would like to step up the pace. The one who is employed by Williams would like to reach F1 as quickly as possible.
However, his opinion is not shared by the CEO of the discipline, Stefano Domenicali, who assures that no woman will succeed in it in less than five years.
Despite these remarks, the British woman remains focused on her goal. « There are many things I need to achieve during this period, but my objective is still to try to succeed by moving up to the appropriate higher category to access Formula 1 within five years. »
« That’s my goal right now, I have to rely on the people who believe in it and see the possibilities, because those people are there. Even Andretti [in Indycar], who gives me the opportunity to do tests, believes in it. »
If the young woman manages to make it to Formula 1, she would make history since the last female to have achieved it was Lella Lombardi in 1976.
