So why him to leave and not James?

Harman's track record leaves a lot to be desired and hiring him is one mistake that James has made in a few years of good noticeable progress. So i'm more willing to give James the benefit of the doubt given the recent progress

Yes, these snowflakes are offended by everything and can't handle the truth or facts.

Exposure and opportunity.

Women are well represented in endurance racing (and are growing in number) and NHRA drag racing, and they are competitive, The Dakar having been won by a woman (Jutta Kleinschimdt, who also had 3 other podium finishes) and the fastest person in NHRA history is a woman (Brittany Force, who is also a two-time Top Fuel champion).

Very few women are in the single-seater pipeline by comparison to other categories of racing, so there is no way to say they cannot compete at the highest level.

But in this case, BE is full of BS.

The same thing has been said time after time about women in the military, especially about flying/going into space - that their 'weaker' bodies would not be able to handle the G forces, etc., etc., And yet...

The question wasn't if women can compete in motorsport in general , but in Formula 1. No need to give me statistics on females that have achieved success in motorsport because i know that and fully support it. But when it comes to F1 one would assume that the driver ( female in this case ) achieved success in single seater racing competing against males and not just other females. F2 would be a start for one.
 
Ferrari: satisfaction on PU 067/6, tomorrow Leclerc starts on the SF-26:

— Ferrari's power unit, the PU 067/6, showed promising results during the first day of testing in Barcelona. Both Haas and Cadillac, using Ferrari engines, completed the equivalent of three Grand Prix distances without major issues.

— Charles Leclerc will kick off Ferrari's testing session with the SF-26 in Barcelona. He will drive in the morning before handing over to Lewis Hamilton, who will continue testing in the afternoon, marking a significant collaboration between the two drivers.

This is Formula 1

Yes she already proved it in the late 70's and early 80's.

Not enough girls in the lower categories to select from, nothing to do with sexism... but it has EVERYTHING to do with (we won't say names but..) it's people like him making and pumping all girl racing categories <-- this doesn't help their cause, it weakens it.

Let the girls race head to head with the guys, then F1 will select the best (they don't always as we know... Colowhoohoo etc) but it clearly shows whos a damn good racer. Does anyone care if Heidi won the 2025 Woman's Tampon 500??? no. But sure as shite everyone in the paddock knows who won the 2025 F2 championship.

Race together, grow balls
 
It has nothing to do with women being able to drive it is more their abillity to park accurately in the pit box :unsure::)

Well the examples of women doing well he gave is in:
Dakar rally where old men win regularly. Carlos Sainz 61 in 2024. Peterhabsel 55.
Obviously not very straining on the bodies and reflexes if old people win regularly.
Same for his second example. LOL drag racing, just keep hand on steering wheel and floor it. LOL even 80 year olds win often in drag racing.

The Dakar isn't straining on bodies???

And good job missing the context of my post, which was participation (exposure and opportunity). The categories I mentioned have high participation from women, many of whom are in competitive teams. This is not the case in single-seater racing where the pool of female drivers is very small.

Yes you read it right the first time.
If 60 year old can finish and even win the Dakar, then its cant have to much strain on their bodies.
Should be common sense, or so I thought.
And I did not miss any context of your post. You trying to give examples where women do well in sports that old men do well too.
Almost every animal the male is bigger and stronger than the female. Did those female animals in the wild also not get the opportunities/exposure?
This should all be common sense, but I guess not for everyone.
