always yearning

I think we should be criticizing sponsors and f1 teams/driver academies for f1a drivers’ failure to move on past f1a. Blaming f1 academy is misguided to me. Maybe f1 academy could be questioned for continuing to partner with sponsors that emphasize traditional femininity and beauty standards. But even then, maybe these brands are the only options available? Are other gender neutral brand sponsors interested in supporting f1a the way they support men? And it’s the teams responsibility to continue to support their drivers through the junior ranks. F1 academy is giving funding, visibility, access, and f1 team partnerships to their drivers (and supporting several karting series) What more is f1a supposed to do? One junior series cannot by itself change decades of sexism. They cannot push drivers up the junior series ladder without the full committed support of sponsors and f1 teams. The sponsors and f1 teams need to step up and do their part to support female drivers beyond f1 academy. They are where the blame needs to placed.

maya weug posting about the difficulties of not driving a lot this year and saying leaving ferrari made it even tougher, abbi pulling being dropped by alpine and now has to ask her fans to help fund her career, both quabsi sisters leaving the redbull family, tina hausmann no longer supported by AM, all of this feels like just a box every team needed to fill, to be "woke" as many call it now when infact its supposed to help woman get into formula one but the teams don't even take it seriously. we are watching time and time again how so many talents like maya, like abbi, like other young girls on the F1A grid be left because they have served their purpose.
