Jamie Chadwick tests Formula 1 car, calls it top of her bucket list

Jamie Chadwick completed 32 laps testing a Formula 1 car at the Portimao circuit in Portugal, marking a significant highlight in her motorsport career. The 28-year-old from the UK has won all three seasons of the W Series and joined the Williams F1 team as a development driver in 2019. Chadwick described the experience as surreal, emphasizing the physical demands of driving an F1 car, particularly the intense G-forces. She hopes her opportunity will pave the way for more women to compete in F1. Chadwick believes in the potential of female drivers, asserting that there shouldn't be a timeline on their progress in the sport.
