Premium"Where are the promises?" Sophia Flörsch points out certain programs reserved for girls in motorsport
F1. The German driver reacted to an announcement by Marta Garcia indicating that the FRECA race in Monza could be her last single-seater race. The former Formula 3 driver spoke out against the lack of respect for certain promises.
She does not have her tongue in her pocket. When she speaks, it's usually for a good reason. Her public or media appearances have not always pleased everyone. But she knows how to give her opinion. Without beating around the bush.
We know, Sophia Flörsch is not a fan of all-female racing competitions. According to her, the creation of the W Series, the predecessor of the F1 Academy, was a sporting step back and not a way to help women in this field.
Short-term marketing
In recent days, the German has once again made headlines on this subject. The 23-year-old woman responded to a post by Marta Garcia, a FRECA driver. The Spaniard indicated that the final of the 2024 season could be her last single-seater race. At just 24 years old.
« I'm really sorry for you, Marta. It seems like they used you in 2023 for short-term marketing with female drivers," Sophia Flörsch said. With this sentence, it's hard to say who she is pointing fingers at. Iron Dames? Even though the main goal is to promote women in this sport. Alpine? While the French team supports Doriane Pin's teammate. But the German is also linked to the arrowed A brand and is part of the Rac(H)er program. So, it's obviously a group of actors that the three-time participant in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is targeting.
