“I think that’s one of the things that’s been very impressive about the women drivers in motorsport. In other forms of sport, there’s ladies’ golf and basketball, whereas in our sport they’re competing with the men on equal footing.  I think that in the series right now, three of the four women drivers competing absolutely deserve to be there and they’ve worked very hard, and you don’t even notice whether it’s Simona, Danica or one of the guys driving the car, it makes no difference at all.”
