She went from looking green at the start of the season to looking quiet capable towards the end.
Personally I think she needs another season in Atlantics, but the world doesn't seem to work like that anymore.

Some real important points Snrub, thanks - and I like it that you noticed and relied on her progress in the Atlantics where she earned it fair and square. Being a woman, I think women in this sport do deserve a few "extras" and "help" because they are outnumbered and it takes guts to even be there. However, receiving too many extras and help has a danger of making one appear less credibly serious as a racer to me. To need much more extras and help while all alone on a track is starting to sound a little too phoney, needy and whiney to me. I'm finding more and more it seems like a media frenzy feeding off the whole "male-fantasy-fan" market; and less and less about serious racing.
