Moss is right...in a way. Women may not lack intellectual capacity, but there are studies that show that men have inherently superior ability to track other objects, and predict their future locations all while taking into account their own motion. Sounds kind of like the skill set I’d be looking for in an F1 driver.
Has to do with hunting and fighting skills men developed over millenia.
I expect women can do okay in auto racing, if they want. But I believe fewer women are attracted to such activities.
