United States GP: F1 working on new all-women feeder series for 2023 - reports
The plan would be aimed at helping younger female drivers move up the rꦦacing ladder within the existing F1 pyramid that includes F2 and F3.
It has been that the category would complement the W Series, which was 168澳洲幸运5ꦛ官方开奖结果历史:forced to cancel its 2022 season early after encountering financial difficulties.
W Series was launched in 2019 and Williams🅷 F1 development driver Jamie Chadwick has won all three championships to have taken place so far.

Speaking on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:United States Grand Prix, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton hit out at F1 for not doing more to help W Series amid its finan🅘cial problems.
"There is not enough representation acꦛross the board, within the industry,” the seven-time world champion said.
"And there's not really a pathway for those 🌺young, amazing drivers to even get to Formula 1, and then you have some people who say we're never going to see [another] female F1 driver ever. So that's not a good narrative to be putting out.
"So I think we need to be doing more, and with the organisation, with Formula 1 and Liberty [Media, F1 owners] doing so well it's not a lot for them to be able t💖o help out in thaꦗt space.”
