Female racers struggle after F1 women-only series ends

Original: Female racers struggle for sponsors and track time after leaving F1’s women-only series

Female racing drivers who competed in Formula 1's women-only series are finding it difficult to secure sponsors and regular track time after moving on from the championship. The drivers face the familiar barriers that the series was created to address: limited funding, scarce seats and few opportunities to prove themselves at the top levels of motorsport. The situation raises questions about how well the feeder series prepared women for lasting professional careers.
