Jamie Chadwick - First competitive female driver in F1?

Very impressed with Jamie Chadwick's drive yesterday in Austin, TX and in securing her 2nd W Series Championship title.
She has close links with the Williams team, so could she eventually become the first competitive female driver in F1?

You need to be in peak fitness, but you absolutely do not need to be ‘strong’ to race and F1 car. I assume, for instance you realise that Yukon Tsunoda is the same height as Jamie at 5ft2? And even Alonso is only 5ft6.

Vicky Piria looks pretty fit and she spent much of last season at the back of the grid....!

Caught part of an interview Jamie did on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning - Her ambition is to become a Formula 1 driver in 3 years time.

In non-cost cap news, W series has been cancelled for the rest of the season (2 races), Chadwick wins again.

Am I right in saying it may not return next year either due to lack of funding?
