杰西卡·霍金斯：女性具备F1所需体能，但初级系列赛需调整
阿斯顿·马丁F1车队大使杰西卡·霍金斯表示，女性具备参加F1所需的体能，但F2和F3等初级赛事可能需要调整，以确保男女车手能公平竞争。

阿斯顿·马丁一级方程式车队大使杰西卡·霍金斯坚称，女性具备参加F1比赛所需的体力，但她表示，可能需要对F2和F3等低级别赛事进行改革，以确保女车手和男车手能够在同等条件下竞争。
在《通往成功之路》播客节目中，这位英国车手回顾了她2023年在匈牙利测试阿斯顿·马丁AMR21的经历。当被问及赛车对身体造成的负担时，霍金斯驳斥了体能力量会阻止女车手参加这项锦标赛的说法。
“我完全相信女性的身体力量足以应对F1，”霍金斯表示。“如果不是因为我的脖子，我本可以完成整场比赛的距离。”
这位31岁的车手认为，颈部疲劳是任何没有近期高下压力方程式赛车训练经验的车手进入F1赛车时都会面临的普遍挑战，而非性别上的局限。
不过，她确实指出初级方程式晋升体系可能是女车手的潜在障碍。虽然F1赛车配备了助力转向系统，但F2和F3赛车没有这一配置，方向盘以沉重难打而闻名。

当被问及是否需要针对F2和F3的体能要求采取一些措施以帮助女性进步时，霍金斯回答道："也许吧。是的。因为我认为F2在很多方面比一级方程式对身体的要求更高。也许对颈部的负担没那么大，但在其他方面对身体的要求更高。"
霍金斯还谈到了人们对F1刹车区所需极强腿部力量的担忧，并将之与她参加GT赛车比赛的经历进行了直接比较。
"我在驾驶一级方程式赛车时踩刹车没有任何问题，"她补充道，"我对刹车压力没有任何问题。实际上，我现在赛车中的刹车压力，我觉得比一级方程式赛车更成问题，那是GT赛车。"

Jessica Hawkins dismisses F1 strength concerns but flags junior series barrier for female drivers
Jessica Hawkins insists women are physically capable of racing in Formula 1 but believes changes to F2 and F3 could help female drivers progress
Jessica Hawkins, Development Driver, Aston Martin F1 Team
Aston Martin Formula 1 driver ambassador Jessica Hawkins insists women have the physical strength required to race in F1, but suggests changes may be needed in junior categories such as Formula 2 and Formula 3 to ensure female and male drivers can compete on equal terms.
Speaking on the Road to Success podcast, the Briton reflected on her test of the Aston Martin AMR21 in Hungary in 2023. When questioned on the physical toll of racing, Hawkins dismissed the notion that strength will prevent a female driver from racing in the championship.
"I am absolutely convinced women are strong enough for Formula 1," Hawkins stated. "I could have done the whole race [distance] if it wasn't for my neck."
The 31-year-old argued that neck fatigue is a universal challenge for any driver stepping into an F1 car without recent preparation in high-downforce single-seaters, rather than a gender-specific limitation.
She did, however, point to the junior single-seater ladder as a potential roadblock for female drivers. While F1 cars are equipped with power steering, F2 and F3 machinery lack this feature, making them notoriously heavy to steer.

Asked if something needs to be done regarding the physical demands of F2 and F3 to aid female progression, Hawkins replied: "Maybe. Yeah. Because I think F2 is a lot more physical than Formula 1 in different areas. Maybe less physical on the neck, but more physical in other areas."
Hawkins also addressed concerns over the extreme leg strength required for F1 braking zones, drawing direct comparisons to her campaigns in GT racing.
"I had no problem with the brake in the Formula 1 car," she added. "I had no problem with brake pressure. Actually, brake pressure in what I'm racing now, I find more of an issue than the Formula 1 car, which is GT cars."
