Jessica Hawkins has spoken of her pride at helping advance opportunities for female drivers in motorsport after her recent test in Aston Martin's F1 car.
Aston Martin's driver ambassador and former W Series driver drove the team's 2021 car in 26 laps at Budapest's Hungaroring on September 21, becoming the first woman to test modern-day F1 machinery in five years.Hawkins, who is playing a role with Aston Martin's entry into the all-female F1 Academy series when all 10 F1 teams become involved next year, believes opportunities for female drivers are growing.
'I'm proud to be driving female representation in motorsport forward. I hope that seeing me behind the wheel of an F1 car inspires future female racers and inspires people, male or female, to follow their dreams no matter what. Nothing should ever stop you from doing what you want to do, what you're passionate about - what you love doing.''There are still things I want to achieve.
