Jamie Chadwick believes that it won't be long until a female driver makes it into Formula 1 and the W Series championship topper believes that she could be the one. Chadwick has signed as a Williams junior driver and thinks that she is close to making it into the top flight of motorsport.

“It [making it to F1] would be unbelievable. It’s the ultimate goal. It’s every young driver’s dream,” she told radio station talkSPORT.

“That dream becomes a little bit more of a closer reality with the relationship I have with Williams. I really want to achieve it for myself. I really want to be there on merit and because I deserve to be and fingers crossed that happens soon.

“[Working with Williams] has been unbelievable for me. Getting that kind of experience with an F1 team has been awesome. For it to be Williams, a British team who have so much history, has been extra special and I’ve learnt a lot from them so far.

“Now I’ve done the job that I needed to this year by securing the W Series Championship, I’m hoping that I can go to them with a bit more of an argument to do some more stuff for them next year.”
