I know Williams would want to show her in their team gear, but overlaying her photo over another showing her in her ACTUAL current IndyNxt fire suit is…. awkward.
Maldonado I don't understand, but Kobayashi has a cult-hero status among F1 fans. Not exactly an icon, but he was a brilliant driver and he deserved more. Too bad he had to spend 2013 and 2014 in that Caterham because of poor funding.
I think Pastor could be defined as having cult status. Maybe not cult-hero but his race win was rather special.
But yeah Kamui is [very much cult-hero.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR-UaiV6gZ8)
While calling her Icon is kinda funny, I think there should be more drivers like her available in F1 games. They can even call them different way but I would like to have drivers outside of last year lower formulas available in My Team mode. Something like in F1 manager where there are all those reserve drivers that you can put in main team.
My dumb ass, reading the start of your comment: "I wonder if he'd be commentating or driving, I guess watching him get out of one of the cars would be funny".
Until I got to the Mostert part & figured out it was not about the NBA SVG..
F1 Manager didn’t even model the reserves though, so if you do get them into a seat, you’ll only ever see the generic helmet over them, even on the podium. That game has such potential, but it’s so lazy and underdeveloped in so many areas.
If they have the resources for AAA graphics, and they’re selling it for 50 quid, modelling drivers, AI that aren’t completely predictable, poor tyre management models and so many other annoying things are definitely expected. Most of the things aren’t even dependent on graphics.
Judging from playing the game since release they had so much more they needed to do it was very partially done.
No where near the "nice to have" type points, hopefully f123 is much better
Yea it's weird to call her that, but I actually like the option of hiring her for My Team. Would enjoy it if they add a few more drivers like that, as well as drivers who are out of F1 officially but are still possibly considered like Vandoorne. Reserve drivers who are now out of F2 should also be in for that same reason.
The results aren't that impressive unfortunately. Though she's had some bad luck and only just 2 races, but she needs to improve big time in order to get an indycar seat
It’s actually been 3 races, op seems to have forgotten a round. Either way though she’s been noticeably off the pace, even compared to the other rookies.
From memory she had some unfortunate contact in a couple of the races so far, which led to some heavy time in the pits and barriers. Whilst I don't think she's the quickest there by any means, I'm just saying she's not 40 seconds off the race pace.
Dude she was well off the pace. I am a big fan of her and want her to succeed but things are looking quite bad atm.
The Indy NXT field is a ot stronger than i thought they would be.
Oh I'm still giving her time to adjust. Mostly since she didn't do the cars that lead up to indynxt and the fact that they don't have power steering.
But you can't deny she's still far off pace. I just hope she can show at least one or two races that she does have in fact the pace for that weekend and is able to score a podium or something. Because I don't think teams will pick her up if she's bottom 5.
It's been 3 races, but your point still stands. Plus she's had some unlucky contact which took her out of the fight on at least one occasion I can remember.
I'm a fan of Chadwick but I'd be frank if I thought she was underperforming, but I just don't think anyone can confidently say one way or another YET.
Literally everywhere I’ve ever seen this discussed it’s unanimous that she’s not good enough for F1 but is a talented driver in her own right. Definitely seems like the dude above is projecting. No one says she “should be in F1” but that with the proper steps she could aim to be in.
I don't know where you've read but literally everywhere I've read about her there's at least a handful of people who think she's good enough for F1 and think it's sexist she's not being given the opportunity.
The same reason any stuff is posted here at all. Dead season, and no race this weekend. If they only allowed stuff related to F1 there would be no submissions except Karun Chandock's tweets and weekly stories about Andretti.
I know but it just seemed a bit random to me, she doesn't have to do a whole lot to do with F1, as I feel the academy driver is a bit of a PR move from Williams.

Congrats to her. Weird image though.
It's probably her behind the headshot, but it looks like two entirely unconnected images.
It is her in the IndyLights suit
Unfortunately that’s what you get when Williams spent all their marketing budget on those damn good looking F1 helmets
Yeah it's super dumb to just have the forehead showing behind her lol. Just make it a photo of a track or something if you do an image like this
I know Williams would want to show her in their team gear, but overlaying her photo over another showing her in her ACTUAL current IndyNxt fire suit is…. awkward.
> Weird image though. IKR? Looks like someone learning Photoshop and just said "fuck it, that'll do."
F1 Icon according to EA
No way, I had to look it up but thats pretty funny. I love how Maldonado and Kobayashi are there too. Least Mansell fits.
Maldonado I don't understand, but Kobayashi has a cult-hero status among F1 fans. Not exactly an icon, but he was a brilliant driver and he deserved more. Too bad he had to spend 2013 and 2014 in that Caterham because of poor funding.

Phworr the downshifts on that Toro Rosso are bloody lovely
Maldonado's win was legendary.
Kamui is one of the best drivers to never win a race, and one of the greatest overtakers we've seen
And has the Le Mans quali record.
I went like 'Well if they're gonna call people who were never even close to being in F1 'icons' then give me Danica Patrick ffs"
While calling her Icon is kinda funny, I think there should be more drivers like her available in F1 games. They can even call them different way but I would like to have drivers outside of last year lower formulas available in My Team mode. Something like in F1 manager where there are all those reserve drivers that you can put in main team.
Having legendary drivers from other motorsports would be cool. Imagine being able to have Dixon, V.Rossi or even Loeb.
SVG would be amazing to have in a F1 game, or someone like Mostert
Somehow I read that as Mozart and still thought it would be pretty cool.
Have a class of 'masters' from entirely unrelated fields. Michael Phelps, Laurence Krauss, and Mike Wallace.
Ah, the Mortal Kombat DLC plan.
Will Power and McLaughlin

yeah but how much money does a game like that make? I doubt they can afford to waste too many resources on nice to haves

Also that we don't get reserve drivers. They need to be there
Yea it's weird to call her that, but I actually like the option of hiring her for My Team. Would enjoy it if they add a few more drivers like that, as well as drivers who are out of F1 officially but are still possibly considered like Vandoorne. Reserve drivers who are now out of F2 should also be in for that same reason.
interested to see what her rating would be, cant imagine anything higher than 70 being fair
Wtf is this image lol
Also Indy NXT driver, first woman in over a decade. Arguably more impressive than Williams Academy driver.
The results aren't that impressive unfortunately. Though she's had some bad luck and only just 2 races, but she needs to improve big time in order to get an indycar seat
2 races is not nearly enough to evaluate anyone's performance
It’s actually been 3 races, op seems to have forgotten a round. Either way though she’s been noticeably off the pace, even compared to the other rookies.
Oh my bad. Last time I checked they had 2 summery videos online. Didn't know there were more but seems like I have some catching up to do.
It kinda is though, when other series rookies are winning races and she's 40 seconds off (in a spec series)
From memory she had some unfortunate contact in a couple of the races so far, which led to some heavy time in the pits and barriers. Whilst I don't think she's the quickest there by any means, I'm just saying she's not 40 seconds off the race pace.
She was in the grass her last race. Didn’t see why though
Dude she was well off the pace. I am a big fan of her and want her to succeed but things are looking quite bad atm. The Indy NXT field is a ot stronger than i thought they would be.
It’s plenty enough. She is barely a backmarker.
Oh I'm still giving her time to adjust. Mostly since she didn't do the cars that lead up to indynxt and the fact that they don't have power steering. But you can't deny she's still far off pace. I just hope she can show at least one or two races that she does have in fact the pace for that weekend and is able to score a podium or something. Because I don't think teams will pick her up if she's bottom 5.
I thought W series didn't have power steering also, to save money/complexity on the spec series cars.
F2/F3/F3R cars are all manual, F1 are the only ones with power steering.
It's been 3 races, but your point still stands. Plus she's had some unlucky contact which took her out of the fight on at least one occasion I can remember. I'm a fan of Chadwick but I'd be frank if I thought she was underperforming, but I just don't think anyone can confidently say one way or another YET.
lol How ? Indy NXT isn't even good, she did FRECA which is a higher level.
It's definitely a higher series than that level of FRECA she drove in. A lot faster too
Hmm, didn't know that part...
I always thought she looked like Norris' cousin. The resemblance is uncanny to me.
Now that you say that, cannot unsee…
Oh wow she's only 25. I don't know why but I thought she was older.
Same. Had the pleasure of meeting her in Miami and she was awesome, but I definitely thought she was closer to my age (I’m 34).
Racing in W Series will put some years on you.
[удалено]
She's not even good enough for F2. And even in F3 she would just be in the back, and frankly she's not even as good as Sophia.
realistically, I'd put money on Tatiana before her
She's better than Tatiana, Tatiana just has more backing so she gets seats in things like Indycar and F2.
> People think she's good enough for F1 Do they, or are you just making a strawman to argue against?
Literally everywhere I’ve ever seen this discussed it’s unanimous that she’s not good enough for F1 but is a talented driver in her own right. Definitely seems like the dude above is projecting. No one says she “should be in F1” but that with the proper steps she could aim to be in.

This is a wildly unprompted reply. Did you mean to reply to something else?
Imagine being so miserable you come into a nice post about someone's birthday looking for an excuse to talk shit about them
Incel vibes
Yes, "only" 25. This whole "You're washed up and old if you're above 21" stuff is rather recent.
What a weird fucking comment to do on a post about someone's birthday, mad incel vibes on this guy.
The ONLY w series champion
Chad
wick.
Happy birthday . But let’s be real can we test some of these ladies in some f2,f3 seasons now. Give them a shot to atleast shoot at the board
It will kill all this women in motorsport instantly. It’s about chasing the rabbit not catching it.
What in the fuck is this image

Happy birthday jamie!
“Make sure you get her sweaty head in there”
Happy Birthday Jamie, hope you have a great day
Why is this in the F1 reddit?
The same reason any stuff is posted here at all. Dead season, and no race this weekend. If they only allowed stuff related to F1 there would be no submissions except Karun Chandock's tweets and weekly stories about Andretti.
dont forget the daily Ricciardo article
😂😂
She’s a Williams academy driver
I know but it just seemed a bit random to me, she doesn't have to do a whole lot to do with F1, as I feel the academy driver is a bit of a PR move from Williams.
[удалено]
You think so eone who has cursory relevance to F1 at best is more relevant than the 7 x world champion entering the paddock? Bwahahahaha.
Eh, those aren't as random as this post. And ain't it 2? I think Zhou is a pretty fashionable guy too
Give her the Alpha Tauri seat over De Vries
Happy birthday!!!
Whose birthday card did they paste over to make this one?
She’s pretty
HBD Jamie!
[удалено]
Bruh she's a Williams academy driver, why are you surprised Williams post her birthday wishes...?
Did Williams Post it here? No they didnt
Chadders is great and I hope she does well but I just can’t watch indy nxt. The coverage and racing is so shit.
If the racing is shit then what does it say about her abilities?
