Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Aug 25 (Ians) Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali doesn’t expect a women to drive in the series in the near future, even though they are making efforts to make things easier for women.
F1 one has seen only two women participating in a grand prix race. Maria Teresa de Filippis qualified for three races in the 1950s and fellow Italian Lella Lombardi had a few races in the 1970s.
The women have their own W Series which is supported by F1 but none of them have risen into F1 yet from there, and Domenicali was quoted as saying ahead of the weekend Belgian F1 Gp he doesn’t expect this to change quickly.
“Realistically speaking, I don’t see – unless something that will be like a sort of meteorite coming into the earth – a girl in Formula 1 in the next five years. That is very unlikely, I need to be realistic,...

Domenico Procacci’s Fandango, the Rome shingle that originated the “Gomorrah” and “My Brilliant Friend” skeins, will be at Series Mania’s Co-Pro Pitching Forum with “The Impossible She,” about Neapolitan aristocrat Maria Teresa de Filippis who during the 1950s became the world’s first female Formula 1 driver.
The only Italian project selected for these pitches, “The Impossible She” germinated from a collaboration between young director Lorenzo Sportiello –– whose credits include Netflix’s Italian original “Summertime” –– and documaker Simone Manetti who both worked with prominent screenwriter Federica Pontremoli (“We Have a Pope”). Sportiello and Manetti will each direct several of the show’s eight episodes.
“The Impossible She” is set in early postwar Italy when women have just won the right to vote. De Filippis, who was raised amid the lace, privilege and conformism of Neapolitan nobility, drives her first car and becomes totally taken by her father’s passion for race car driving.
