You are right about the upper body muscular development required to pilot today's F1 cars, but that does not mean it cannot or should not change. There are several women competitors in 500 mile NASCAR sanctioned events driving three times heavier cars with powered worm-and-sector-gear steering boxes like those used in big trucks and dealing with nearly constant 1.5x g-loading on superspeedways. It can be done by focussed and well-trained females.
