As soon as they get all the remote control options on the cars so even a monkey can drive them (although Murray says perhaps the monkey wouldn't be the fastest driver!) there may be some "girls" in F1 - IF they have a large bundle of sponsor money.

As I have said before, I think it would be a mistake to take women into F1. It would ruin the mystique, for one thing; it would inevitably "dummy down" the level of racing, which is pitiful enough as it is; the first "girl" who gets punted off will go crying to the stewards that the guy who punted her is sexist and it's harrassment ... and she will win the day ... she'll pose draped over the car in her underwear (not her Nomex, needless to say, but Victoria's Secret type lace stuff) and all her publicity pictures will have a sexual angle to them ... it would be a disaster.
