Susie has had to battle many hurdles to get recognised with the respect that is due to any driver of the beasts that are used in the Formula 1 races. Sir Stirling Moss didn’t mince his words when he publicly stated that he believed that no woman had the mental skills to race competitively in Formula 1. If anything, I think Susie has taken this and it has helped drive her desire to prove everyone wrong.
"I always said I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think it
was possible and I believe in myself.”
The pressure is still very much on for Susie as the expectation only rises for her to deliver. The test is a good example that while not spot on, she is competitively on-pace.
“So it was about going out there and showing what I could do. As
much as I was nervous about today, I also saw it as a brilliant opportunity to
show people what I was capable of."
