Following on from our recent post about the amazing impact of the FIA Girls on Track UK program, I wanted to share some more insights into the current state of women in motorsport. While it’s inspiring to see over 10,000 young girls being introduced to the possibilities within motorsport, there’s still a long road ahead. Did you know that no female driver has competed in Formula 1 since 1992? And currently, women make up only 5% of engineers in F1 teams. Programs like Girls on Track UK are vital for changing this landscape, empowering young girls to pursue careers in racing – not just as drivers, but as engineers, strategists, and innovators. It’s efforts like these that will help close the gender gap and ensure the future of motorsport is more inclusive. At Not Just Girls, I’m excited to continue championing initiatives like these and seeing more women take their rightful place in the motorsport world! #WomenInSTEAM #MotorsportDiversity #GirlsOnTrack #WomenInMotorsport #NotJustGirls

#21 Hannah DeHamer Hi LKYSUNZ !! I'm Hannah and you have the pleasure of me hosting Switchin It Up for the last race of the season. Which.... how is it already the end of the season? Time flies when you have a (semi) title battle, midseason driver drops, and summer break drama to deal with. I thought we could start off on the right foot together and talk about women in motorsports. Because, hello! I'm a woman in motorsport and I think we're kind of cool. Lets get into shall we? Motorsport has long been considered a male-dominated world, but being a woman in this industry isn’t just about breaking stereotypes—it’s about showing up with passion, purpose, and an unbeatable want to succeed. Yet, stepping into this space has also meant navigating challenges, from underrepresentation to proving that women belong not just on the sidelines but at the forefront of motorsport innovation, storytelling, and strategy. That's the part where I come in! For me, being a woman in motorsport is about more than personal achievement. It’s about paving the way for the next generation of girls who dream of being part of this world—whether behind the wheel, in the pit, or in front of the camera. Representation matters, and each step forward brings us closer to a sport that celebrates passion and talent above all else. To anyone who feels like they don’t belong, here’s my reminder: there’s room for you here. Every race, every story, every challenge brings new opportunities to prove that diversity fuels progress. Motorsport isn’t just for men—it’s for everyone who dares to dream, work hard, and push boundaries. Let’s keep pushing. HD

Throughout its history, motorsport has been a rich man's world. Now, finally, there are signs that things are starting to change. Spearheaded by the F1 Academy, visibility of female drivers is increasing, and the pathway from grassroots to the elite level is being developed in a way that has never been seen before. Initiatives such as Global Karting League:UK and More than Equal are working to increase female participation and performance, in a bid to remove barriers to entry for girls wanting to compete, with Formula 1 being the ultimate goal. Recent record-breaking results from the Iron Dames, Jamie Chadwick and Abbi Pulling have all helped grow the feeling that women's motorsport is on the rise, whilst crucially giving young girls role models that they can look up to. This will only be increased next year when the F1 Academy Netflix docuseries is released, which should be another pivotal step in growing the visibility and profile of not just the drivers, but also women working in key roles off-track. From a commercial perspective, there is clearly a growing appetite from brands to support women in motorsport, which is opening up new opportunities for the sport as a whole. Again, F1 Academy is leading the way with support from the likes of Charlotte Tilbury Beauty, Tommy Hilfiger and American Express, but the trend is widening - highlighted by E.L.F. BEAUTY's backing of Katherine Legge in this weekend's Indy 500. As part of SportsPro's Women's Sport Week, Cian Brittle sat down with Rob Smedley, ex-F1 engineer and founder of Global Karting League, to discuss why motorsport has so far fallen short on gender equality, and how some of the aforementioned initiatives are working to rectify that. #f1 #motorsport #womeninmotorsport #sportsbiz https://lnkd.in/eQAXz9E8

As someone (like so many others) that became introduced to motorsports through Netflix's 'Drive To Survive' series focused on Formula 1, one question that kept me googling on my phone while watching was "are there female drivers in motorsports?" This Marketplace article explores exactly why there is a glaring absence of female drivers in Formula 1 —and it’s a mix of deeply ingrained cultural and systemic barriers. It’s hard not to feel frustrated when you think about all the incredibly talented women who could have broken into the sport but haven’t had the same opportunities. As someone who believes deeply in creating space for women to succeed, this got me thinking: what would it take to finally see women competing at the highest level in Formula 1?

Tidbit for your Day | Despite the progress women are making in sports, Formula 1 remains a space where women are notably absent behind the wheel. In this piece by Marketplace, the article dives into the many factors at play—cultural, structural, and economic—that have hindered female drivers from breaking into the sport. As we look at the future of sports, particularly with the rise in female viewership and participation, it’s critical that we question these barriers and drive forward (see what we did there? ?? ) initiatives that champion inclusivity and equal opportunity. What do you think needs to change to see more women on the Formula 1 grid?
