Women Definitely Cannot Handle Formula One Cars

2024-02-19 EST 22:11:21

The most powerful Men in open-wheel racing have told us and that women don’t belong in Formula One, but Renault Sport couldn’t take their word for it. (Shouldn’t everyone , ?) So, they put 79-year-old Rosemary Smith into a car.

And Smith, a woman who claims to be a rally driver when we all know women can’t do that sort of thing, definitely couldn’t handle it.

was really getting in the way.

Women , and they’d never be taken seriously enough to get an actual ride. There’s no reason to try, really.

Women also that they can do this sort of thing. They can’t just say that they want to and daydream about it.

The video credits closed out by saying that at 79, Smith became the oldest person—not woman—to drive an 800 BHP race car. But even she said that at her age, she “should be home doing [her] knitting.”

That she should.

The notion that Formula One would host a race on a street circuit in a modern American city was preposterous. The notion that said street circuit would seemingly be entirely composed of one giant hairpin was hilarious. It was never going to happen, and now its not-happening is official....
