Aston Martin runs Drugovich and Hawkins in F1 test at Hungaroring. Hawkins becomes first woman in five years to test a modern F1 car.

There have been female drivers before. 5 in fact. But yes the next female driver to get a race seat is gonna have one hell of a media storm around them.

Well she's in F1 academy next year so we'll see how she compares to other drivers, but realistically dozens of drivers drop out every year due to funding and we've not seen any of them to be diamonds when given the chance.
