Aston Martin runs Drugovich and Hawkins in F1 test at Hungaroring. Hawkins becomes first woman in five years to test a modern F1 car.

There have been female drivers before. 5 in fact. But yes the next female driver to get a race seat is gonna have one hell of a media storm around them.
Why?
The fact that this is being talked about says a lot!
It's an article about Aston Martin testing, with two drivers, one is the current F2 Champion, and the other has achieved nothing of note!
Guess which driver we're talking about?!

Long, long overdue but I'm so nervous for the first woman who makes it to the grid, going to be so much attention and scrutiny.
