Interesting to see Lella Lombardi on the list.

I once knew a bloke called Lombardi. I was told his mame was an acronym for Loads Of Money But A Real Di**head Italian. It seemed quite appropriate.

The F1 teams and motorsport generally will have the best driver they can get, sex doesn't come into it, they are purely pragmatic. If it turns out that barbery apes can drive fast they'd have them too. So the bottom line is they'd have one tomorrow if they were good enough. In reality it's a fitness and strength thing. You need olympic standards of fitness to drive an F1 car and the men are always going to be better. Same reason why there are very few lady jockeys in the top flight, not good enough, simple fact I'm afraid.
