I'm struggling to see the point of this discussion.
Drag racing doesn't count.
Rallying doesn't count.
Sidecars don't count.
I don't think you are looking for an answer to your original question, you've already decided that. It seems you are just looking for someone to agree with you.

No doubt that the monkey is very important to the outfit and they work very hard at it,you answered your own question by saying "no driver will ever win a championship without a 1st class monkey", the monkey is not the driver.
However if you don't see the point of this discussion then don't read it and don't respond to it.
Nobody has yet been able to give a definitive answer to why except to go down the coulda,woulda,shoulda line.
How hard is it for you to understand what a motor racing championship is?
Its not bikes,its not drag racing,its not rallying, its single driver,four wheels on a track designed for circuit racing.
I concede that there has been some exceptionally talented females over the years and some have won some important races but never a championship of note, WHY?
I haven't answered it, i have only given my opinion like you have.
