Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

Real question, is there any physiological reason women would be better or worse at racing cars than men are? I don't know anything about formula one.
Or it is similar to chess, where it's mostly just that women have been socially crowded out of competing because they get mistrested
In reality, we don't know. That is very hard to study. But we know from other physically demanding competitions that men and women don't compete together. And F1 is very demanding.
What even is this?
Yes we do.
It's really not, we have stopwatches and cars already.
This is motorsport newb, go watch golf.
Yes, and several women, including Susie Wolf, have driven F1 cars just fine. There is currently a female racer in F3 and F2. There have been in F1 as well.
There is nothing stopping women from racing in F1 except prejudice.
They race in Indycar, The Le Mans Series, Super Formula, and dozens of other race series.
Susie Wolf never competed in a formula 1 race. It's like saying that several women kicked the ball just fine, so men and women can play football on the same level. The only prejudice here is the trendy belief that men and women are fully equal, which contradicts objective biological facts.
Female Jet Fighter pilots exist, lazy misogynist opinion rejected.
Ah yes, saying that men and women are different is misogynous. Clown like you are the reason why so many scientist today don't study sensitive gender-related topics, as idiots like you don't always like the findings. And that doesn't help women either. It just makes you feel good, you saved the world by calling someone misogynist online today. You must be very proud!
What findings?
You haven't presented any evidence to back up any of your opinions, you just keep presenting bulverisms.
