Well, what exactly do you think she should want? It's not as if she is some hot talent that has just won a hotly contested championship against other quality drivers across a lengthy season of races. A back of the grid F3 drive off of the back of W Series results would be a mighty outcome.
Chadwick's previous comments about wanting decent drives does rather make her look rather entitled. Surely any seat in a higher series should be welcomed, then from there you can show your worth and try to get a better seat.
Is it something personal ? Or does sneering and sniping at a young woman giving racing her best shot touch a raw nerve with you ?

I think by now if she was any good she would have been taken up by somebody, she has a profile already is proven at a certain level, presumably has tested loads of stuff but there are no takers.
I have no issue with calling that out, if she was good enough she would be there already, like any other decent driver, it is not gender keeping her from moving up, far from it, I would guess if she was even slightly good enough gender would help.

I see no difference in the comments for male sub par drivers in this thread, actually the males get it worse as they don't have people coming on and commenting they shouldn't receive criticism because she is a "young women"

Good to see it confirmed. She looked like a future star when given the opportunity as a reserve last season. IMHO she might be the favourite for the title, sorry Jamie.

She's also now part of the Alpine driver academy https://twitter.com/AbbiPulling/status/15014981426...
Well done Abbi, that’s a great development deal. A lot of new faces coming is WS this year, judging from their report of pre-season testing
https://wseries.com/w-hub/w-series-set-for-miami-a...
One name to watch is Juju Noda, 16-year-old Japanese who’s been talked about for years, having won everything in karts and junior car series in her home country.
First race in Miami in May, on the F1 undercard.

Multi year deal done with Sky for live quali and races, highlights on C4 except for Silverstone live on both. https://twitter.com/WSeriesRacing/status/151864350...
Sad trombone.

Sign that those paying for this charade are starting to get empty pockets and are having to suckle at Sky's teat. Their business plan was never going to be financially sound, you can't pay for those who aren't good enough to fund their own racing forever. Running around at the back off of the pace doesn't attract sponsors, just ask Haas, Lotus, Virgin & Hispania.Sad trombone.
What is utter madness is how some are bending over backwards to try and spin this as a positive. Trying to pull the same wool over people's eyes as Bernie did when he announced the Sky deal all them years ago, complete with the BS about a larger reach.
Motor racing going behind a pay wall is only ever a bad thing, W Series should in reality just leave it's coverage to Youtube, that is where series of it's level usually have their coverage. The terrestrial coverage it got from C4 was far beyond it's worth because it suited their far-left political bias.

Maybe Naomi Schiff can comment on something she actually knows about instead of trying to fool F1 nerds that she knows what an F1 driver goes through and how an F1 car looks on track….
Oh I don't know, she fits in well with the Sky squad, they're all as full of waffle with little of any value or interest as she is. There are only two reasons she got the Sky gig, and it isn't her knowledge or racing insight. She is that good of a driver she got dumped as a driver in the series for drivers that are so poor they can't get drivers elsewhere.Nice legs though.
Bad luck for Marti, Garcia but especially Powell. The race control approach to getting the incident sorted, car cleared, is laughable. Looks like the ‘bridge’ or whatever it is is too low for the recovery vehicle to get under with the car hooked up. Heaven forbid there’s a significant knock or accident in the F1 race! I guess the experience in the W Series race will be looked at to try and address any issues in the F1 and next W Series race.

The standard of driving was woe-full..... This is the reason they don't get any further. The only one who has any class is Chadwick....
The driving by Kimilainen on the restart was so bad that it looked like amateur hour at the local kart track.
The cars look old as well know.... not a good show after 30mins of hype before the start.
Score 2/10..... needs further work!!
