HOCKENHEIM, Germany - Britain’s Jamie Chadwick stood on top of the podium as the first race winner in the new all-female W Series on Saturday with compatriot Alice Powell second at a damp and overcast Hockenheim.
“I see it as a huge, huge moment. As a driver it makes no difference but as a person, and as a female in motorsport, I think it’s incredible,” said Chadwick. A collision between Finland’s Emma Kimilainen, who had stalled at the start, and Canadian Megan Gilkes then brought out the safety car with Chadwick retaking the lead at the re-start.
Powell, who started in sixth place, was taking part in her first single seater race since 2014, with her career stalling due to a lack of funding. None of the drivers in W Series have to pay to compete.“If it wasn’t for W Series I wouldn’t be sat here or back in a race car,” said Powell. “It’s come under a lot of criticism from people who really didn’t understand this concept, and that was about opportunity.
