Formula 1 hopeful Tatiana Calderon says 'people expect less' from women in the sport, and she’s trying to prove them wrong.
The racing driver after completing Le Mans 24 Hours, one of the world's oldest sports car racing event, called for equal opportunity for women in motorsports. She said, “I don’t want to be treated differently, I just want to have the same opportunities as the guys.”
The 27-year-old told CNN, “Times are changing but we still need support from the male part, to believe fully and to give us the opportunity to show. That’s what we are missing.”
Calderon was a part of the Richard Mille Racing Team alongside other recognizable names at Le Mans 24 Hours. Calderon is now a test driver for Formula One team Alfa Romeo.
She is one of the most prominent women in motorsport today, zipping around race tracks in her bright pink BWT Arden Formula 2 race car at breakneck speeds.
