Of course they could if they started as young as most who succeed have.

Woman in F1 would be marketing gold!

But she’d have to be fast enough first…

Which is why the FIA are trying to get women into F1 with their own 'F1 Academy'.

I watched a video as to why they don’t get paid as much as the men.

Given the league is not self sustaining, they have outside investors such as the NBA and other companies, who help sustain the WNBA. These entities obviously want a return on their investment, so much of the revenue goes to paying these entities back (or however you want to say it).

Few people want to watch a bunch of hard dykes playing b-ball.

They're delusional.

A 15 year old boys team beat the US Women's  Olympic soccer in a scrimmage.

The WNBA just plain sucks - that's why no one watches it. A bunch of wannabe transgender men who can't shoot straight.

If they race against another women they’ll never be fast enough.

Exactly. They'll still have to successfully compete in F3 and F2 with males who are already some of the best racing drivers in the world. They race in equal machinery and usually only the first 3 in F2 make it to F1.

In F3, there are 30 drivers, in F2 there's 22 and in F1 it's 20.

So they will need to beat at least 50 and then compete with another 20 for a position in F1.

Letrs hope they never have to reverse park their car.

At least they'll be 'good' at tailgating, braking in time is another issue though.

Maybe but what level of pay and viewership does that even get?
I think that the one exception is female gymnastics.  Maybe figure skating, too. 

US Pro Female soccer team was beaten by a boys 15 and under team.   :D

Russia's airport sniffer dogs are clearly well trained at picking up hidden items, like meat...

Really.  That whole incident sort of slid by me until (I have no idea why) I happened to catch an interview with 'they'
