Jessica Hawkins is one of the few women in recent history to drive a Formula One car—but her journey there was far from straightforward.
Jessica reveals how financial struggles repeatedly stopped her from racing, how a last-minute audition led to Fast & Furious Live and how she eventually earned the opportunity to drive for Aston Martin.
She also explains what an F1 car genuinely feels like, whether women are physically capable of competing at the highest level and when we could finally see a woman return to the Formula One grid.
