just to enlighten you, there have been 5 female f1 drivers:
maria theresia de filipis, 1958-1959, 5 entries, 3 starts
leila lombardi, 17 entries, 12 starts, 0.5 points (spanish GP 1975, only half the distance was raced so only half the points were given)
divina galica (she was from the uk by the way), 1976-1778, 3 entries, no start
desire wilson, 1979, 1 entry, no start
giovanna amati (she was flav's girlfriend at the time), 1992, 3 entires, no start
those were the qualifying days, cos there were more cars then places on the grid.

desire wilson actually won a f1 race, sort of kinda more or less...she won 1 race at brands hatch in the british aurora f1 series

useless info, i know, but fun to know.... and almost on topic cos i used a whole lotta letters!

Looks like interesting content for a post all its own....

The question of female drivers in F1 surfaces quite frequently so it wouldn't hurt to have a topic on it.
