Asa should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

That's what we tell Serena Williams all the time. She does not deserve any of her Grand Slams because she never beat Nadal or Federer.

I suppose you mean F1 and EPL make very little money out of the media?

I am sure there are women in the world who really believe they can compete as equals with men in F1. But history shows us that very, very few of them actually manage to do it. Of course people will argue it is due to lack of support. But isn't that applicable to men also? For every F1 driver there are more than 100 drivers with failed attempts.

I think W Series needs to happen first before we can judge.
