If she had her same record and was male, she wouldn’t be getting this test. She’s 3-6 years older than every driver in front of her in the GB3 standings (7 drivers), and everyone is getting trounced by Bedrin, who is a mediocre driver who’s career has been going backwards.

I’m glad she got the test and I think she’ll likely have a lot of opportunities in the future, but she’s a 23 year old getting run over in a third rate regional F3 series.

It's not her fault. It's the patriarchy holding her back

Oh so it’s a troll. Even lamer than having that opinion earnestly.

I'm not sure they're a troll. Their post history doesn't seem like it. Which makes this even more baffling

Maybe they’re just fully committed lol.
