Have you seen the size of Yuki Tsunoda?

He’s 5’2 (1.59m)

Give more girls and women opportunities to break into the sport, you’ll eventually have the Katie Ledecky of F1.

(Katie Ledecky is the most decorated competitive woman swimmer in the world. 5’11/1.8m)

Smaller size will actually be an advantage to women (and yuki ;) ), as I hear it can get quite cramped in an F1 car. Where they will probably have a disadvantage is lower testosterone levels, resulting in less muscle build-up. That might prove problematic in the physically more demanding tracks like this weekends'.

(although I think smaller talent pool due to lacking money/opportunities is the most limiting factor for women in F1 right now)
