Everyone should have an equal opportunity. To prove they are the best
Did they assist Kubica on his return to F1? Did they change the formula / rules for him? I do feel that a few parties burned money on a romantic story - I am not dismissive of the injuries sustained by Kubica either or his determination to return to competition but there is a hard edge to realism.
This is a very murky idea / area. I'm not against opportunity for women, what I do disagree with is falsely validating them or segregation where it is not necessary. I am not saying that many categories of motorsport do not run at a commercially viable level without sponsorship, but the total failure of the W Series to provide any contest to Chadwick and likewise that funding was pulled because of the non-spectacle is unsurprising.

Kubica got back due to sponsors, he's a big deal in Poland and Orlen invests a lot of money in F1 😉
And he also tried it in Le Mans, although unsuccessfully so far.
I am also against false validation because that just deceives the person. However, giving an opportunity might open unknown doors for that person and you never know what they can achieve.
