Still another 2 weeks before the Chinese Grand Prix... anyways to keep this thread alive for the time-being what do you guys think about the prospects of a female F1 driver on the grid? Danica Patrick shows no interest despite offers from Bernie Eccelstone - and to be honest even if she did I doubt she would be very successful - and Susie Wolff has yet to even attain a superlicense whereas Maria de Villota got herself involved in a Kubica-esque accident while testing for Marussia and will probably never race again :/ The prospects are pretty bleak as of now. Assuming Susie Wolff attains her superlicense though, maybe she might just have a chance of participating if Maldonado goes berserk, crashes himself along with a few other innocent victims out of the race and gets banned :P
EDIT: Oh and come to think of it... didn't Webber ignore a team order from Red Bull in 2011 Silverstone? (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/93033) While I do not condone what Vettel did, who is he to criticize Vettel for disobeying team orders since he is pretty much no better, only difference is that Vettel was able to defend his position but that does not change the fact that he himself does not obey team orders. I sense some hypocrisy here, and maybe even an inferiority complex to Vettel after losing to him for 4 years in succession? I just hope that their obvious rivalry with each other won't escalate to the point of Prost-Senna in the late 80s and early 90s... at least in the case of the latter it was not a lopsided rivalry :P
