This is a list of female motor racing
drivers who have taken part in the Formula One
World Championship since the inception of the World
Championship for Drivers in 1950.
Five women racing drivers have entered at least
one Grand Prix, although only two of them ever
qualified and started a race. The woman who
competed in the most Grands Prix is Lella Lombardi,
with 17 entries and 12 starts.
Desiré Wilson became the only woman to
win a Formula One race of any kind when she won at

April 1980. As a result of this achievement, she
has a grandstand at Brands Hatch named after

current Formula One teams. Williams have signed
Susie Wolff as a development driver, and
María de Villota has signed as a test driver
