"Ecclestone wants female F1 driver"

Την πεποίθηση ότι ο Μπέρνι Έκλεστοουν θέλει να δει μια γυναίκα στα γκριντ του πρωταθλήματος της Φόρμουλα 1 εξέφρασε η Σούζι Γολφ.

Η 30χρονη, η οποία την περσινή χρονιά βρίσκονταν στη Williams στο ρόλο της δοκιμάστριας τόνισε πως οι συνθήκες που επικρατούν στην κορωνίδα του μηχανοκίνητου αθλητισμού είναι πολύ δύσκολες με τον ανταγωνισμό να περιορίζει τη δυνατότητα μια γυναίκα να πετύχει, κάτι το οποίο ωστόσο δεν θεωρεί αδύνατο.

«Ξέρω ότι πολλοί άνθρωποι θα ήθελαν να συμβεί κάτι τέτοιο. Ο Μπέρνι Έκλεστοουν είναι ένας από αυτούς που πιέζει αυτό να συμβεί και νομίζω ότι κάποια στιγμή στο μέλλον θα γίνει πραγματικότητα», ήταν τα λόγια της Σούζι Γολφ για να συμπληρώσει στη συνέχεια:

«Υπάρχουν περισσότεροι άνδρες οδηγοί, κάτι που κάνει ακόμη πιο δύσκολο το έργο των γυναικών, γιατί δεν υπάρχουν πολλές από εμάς που να προσπαθούμε να συμμετάσχουμε στο πρωτάθλημα της Φόρμουλα 1. Νομίζω ότι είναι πολύ δύσκολο για τον οποιοδήποτε να διατηρηθεί σε αυτό το πρωτάθλημα γιατί είναι ένας πολύ ανταγωνιστικός χώρος.
Μπορεί κανείς να δει πόσο γρήγορα αλλάζουν οι οδηγοί ανάλογα με τις συνθήκες και τις οικονομικές καταστάσεις. Για αυτό νομίζω ότι είναι πολύ δύσκολο για τον οποιοδήποτε και η απουσία μιας επιτυχημένης γυναίκας στο χώρο κάνει τον κόσμο να το αμφισβητεί ή να θεωρεί κάτι τέτοιο αδύνατο. Εγώ από την πλευρά μου πιστεύω ότι είναι πιθανό να συμβεί, απλώς θέλει χρόνο».

"We are in the Formula One championship 1 for seven years and we will be for many more. We don't make a decision at random, everything is calculated, we have weighed the facts and we are sure that the grand prix will be held successfully.


I don't think anything will happen. I don't see why anything should happen this year, which has not happened before. I don't see any benefit for anyone to attack the teams or anyone else.", were the words of his president of the track, to fill in afterwards.


“It could happen in any country in the world. You want to tell me that there is no danger to the Olympic Games in London; With this logic we should postpone them; There are fools everywhere in the world, that means we have to stay at home to pay attention; 


Therefore, the grand prix will take place and I think we will have a good race. Yet, I can assure those who are hesitant that they will change their minds, the first day they come to Bahrain", reported.
