Can Women Succeed In F1?

Susie Wolff, Danica Patrick, and Alice Powell, are all becoming household names; the leading lights of women in motorsport. In the 21st century it seems naive to discredit women's ability to master any discipline, as a  rapidly increasing number of sports open to both genders simply keeps increasing. Consequently, it is understandably baffling to have heard Sir Stirling Moss' recent statements, in which he discredited the opportunity for women to tame a Formula One car. Will there ever be a woman who can challenge for a World Championship? Moss apparently thinks not.
Whenever a legend of the sport makes a statement, the entire community listens intently. Sir Stirling Moss' recent comments have proved very controversial and have divided opinion. According to the Brit, women lack "the mental aptitude to race hard, wheel to wheel" in Formula One. A statement which the likes of Susie Wolff and Alice Powell will hope to prove incorrect.
