UP378 A good day to talk about women and F1

More Than Equal's mission statement is to find, nurture and develop female racing drivers, while identifying and removing the systemic barriers they face. It was founded by 13-times Grand Prix winner David Coulthard and the entrepreneur and philanthropist, Karel Komarek.
Their website explains why having a woman as an F1 World Champion matters.

"Imagine the rewards for our sport and for women everywhere when the chequered flag comes down on that first female champion. Every girl deserves an equal opportunity to achieve her dreams: whether that is running a global company, leading a country, or dominating in elite motorsport. That is why More than Equal exists."

So what are the real world challenges that lie ahead and what does More Than Equal say about the relationship between F1 and women. 

Our guests are CEO Ali Donnelly and Jordan King, one of More Than Equal's driving programme coaches.
Ali was previously Executive Director of Sport England and Deputy Official Spokesman and Head of News for the British Prime Minister.
Jordan is a hugely experienced racing driver with 129 podium places to his name who has worked as Alpine Formula 1 Development Driver and Reserve and Development Driver for the Mahindra Formula E team.  Jordan King has been assigned as one of the programme’s coaches
