Macau Crash
How lucky is this kid, the others drivers, spectators and staff of the Formula 3 event. It's an engineering miracle that people were not killed. I'm glad she is out of surgery and looks likely to recover, hard to believe she is tweeting from the hospital bed.
But my nature makes me prone to pose the unpopular questions, and I can't help but pose this question despite not knowing what went wrong.
Is this what equality quotas get you when anti-discrimination laws become extreme, did this kid deserve to be out there?
Did she have enough of the basic skills to deal with a car problem at 280kph, or was she just there because of her gender and an allocated spot?
If there are quotas in this sport, how is that fair on other drivers, officials and spectators, how is it fair on her when she could lose her life? The equality argument will be it's her life to lose, but she has no right to possibly take others with her!
I'm interested in the thoughts of others, because outside of this specific incident it's an issue being discussed across several sports and life in general.
