Giovanna Amati, the last F1 woman driver and Force India owner Vijay Mallya

It seems that Force India F1 owner Vijay Mallya is going on a hunt for F1 first ever woman driver.

Vijay Mallya was quoted, “Now, I am looking for an F1 woman driver. The day I find one imagine the kind of brand value it will brings.”

Could it be a publicity stunt or a real search? Well who knows.

The last woman to race in F1 was Giovanna Amati back in 1992 for the Brabham Formula One team.

For me personally I feel there’s not real reason why women can’t participate in F1, but I reckon the obstacle is still in the management and a sports being dominated by men, who has the final say and approves whether ones gets to drive or not.
