Applications to join the More than Equal driver development programme are now open, with the initiative hoping to find the first female F1 World Champion.
More than Equal, an organization founded by David Coulthard and Karel Komarec, is launching a driver development program aimed at finding the next female F1 star. The program seeks to support and promote female talent in motorsport with the goal of finding the first female World Champion. Applications are now being accepted worldwide based on criteria including driving history, age, performance, and development stage. The initiative aims to make lasting structural change by investing in and developing female drivers early in their careers. Historically, very few women have competed in Formula 1, with only five having officially competed in a Grand Prix since the late 1950s.
