Female Driver Sees F1 'Possibilities' for
2012
Maria de Villota insists “there are real
possibilities” she will be a regular in the
Formula One paddock next year.
The 31-year-old Spanish female driver tested a
2009 Renault at Paul Ricard in August, and earlier
this month she re-appeared in the car during the
World Series race weekend at Barcelona.
She told the Spanish news agency Europa Press
that she is getting “closer” to securing
a job in Formula One for 2012.
“The first test we did in August went so
well that it helped to accelerate more
possibilities,” said de Villota.
She said her short-term objective is to “be
in Formula One in 2012.”
De Villota, the daughter of former F1 driver
Emilio de Villota, said her Superleague races
alongside former F1 drivers Antonio Pizzonia and
Enrique Bernoldi had convinced her she is capable
of contesting Grands Prix.
“While I have great respect for them, I do
not see an uneven playing field,” she
said.
“Physically – yes I know – I have
to work harder, but as an athlete and a driver I
feel that with proper training and with the
experience that I need, I think I can do it very
well.”
