Hey everyone 🙂
Great feedback on this and I thank you all for your input on this topic. I will make sure that the feedback gets to our team, and we can have further discussion on this.

@ALittleTiger7You sure about that? Look at the F2 2021 championship, look for who dominated the last 5 rounds pace wise and is nowhere near that level in the game.. I would never put my trust into the ratings that end up in the game.
And regarding the topic, even without adding W-Series this should be a thing, its all about diversity now and stuff yet only male real drivers and if they were adding female drivers i dont wanna think how badly rated they would be, but rating them better than some guys like Piastri just for the sake of it would be tough too... Can already see the shitstorm no matter what they do but its something that needs to come
Thanks for the responses. I have been following W Series and am excited for the future of the category especially as now it is officially linked to the FIA calendar. As to whether we would see at any point inclusion of some of the drivers would cause a big upset, as you would need to officially add 20 new drivers to the F3 pool, and also add F3 drivers from the official F3 category too, with another 20 odd drivers. That's way too much work and totally unneeded.
It's sad to see Tatiana is completely removed from the game. I had a lot of fun playing with her as my team mate in the Arden BWT, especially as it has some really sad connections to a certain event back then, it was extra nice to be able to hire her for her maiden F1 outing (yes I know, I am role playing!!!) but it's probably a contractual issue with her not being associated with F2, and is now driving Indiecars as to why she is no longer included, but the last two games are detrimental to the fact that the real life F3, F2 and F1 categories are devoid of any females.
I also realize that these above categories are saturated with young men all hoping for one of those very rare coveted seats, I do appreciate teams must always choose the person who they think is best for the team and car, and not choosing someone because of any virtue signalling point scoring. All the female drivers that compete in motorsports also think the same. Hence the W Series.
I think at best Codemasters could include one or two female drivers to hire, completely fictional, even with low to mid range stats. Then if I want to create an all female F1 team I can.
Yes, other games, for example Motorsport Manager on Android have addional Real drivers from various series licensed to their Main license, so should be no Problem, if one wants. Fictional chars could be useful to mod them to be replaced by Real drivers. Driver slots like in F1 2020 and they can be Customized using an Editor like they have in sims would be nice. Those drivers should then be recruitable.
