And IMO, she had plenty of experience for that test. Several years of Spanish F3 and some WTCC under her belt.

in 2011 she was replaced after she made one race in the superleague formula
in 2010 she participated at nine races, best result was a fourth place in 2009 she participated at nine races at the superleague and three races at the formula palmer audi now, letīs take a look at the other teams and their test driver Red Bull Racing: Sebastien Buemi McLaren: Oliver Turvey, Gary Paffet Lotus: Jerome DīAmbrosio Force India: Jules Bianchi Sauber: Esteban Gutierrez Williams: Valtteri Bottas Caterham: Giedo van der Garde http://www.formel1.net/formel-1-teams.html search for them, everyone is a winner in minor race series, or a champion, everyone is a professional driver. I canīt say the same about Maria de Villota |

I fully expect her to recover from this and carry the mantle of all the previously successful women in F1 that have spanned history |

a woman did finish in a points-paying position in an F1 race, it just wasn't a lot of points.

that idiots made a bad decision to let this girl drive a F1 car, and if the rumors are true, she lost more than her right eye

So it has to do with her lady parts? Or that she didn't win lower class races?
So if the same thing happened to say a Conor Daly (tested the FIF1 in a similar straight line test a few weeks ago) it would be a tragedy but because it's a woman with a CV that you don't approve of it's their fault? I am truly disturbed by this line of posts if I am following correctly. |

High res photo or Maria's accident:
http://twitpic.com/a3duh9/full Sources are blaming the anti-stall device, which kicked in when she slowed to enter the makeshift pits. Pretty sad. Who the heck leaves the tailgate down? |

Holy crap. She's lucky she didn't get decapitated!
Nice Micky Mouse operation you've got going on there, Marussia. |

Apparently it's abundantly common to leave the tailgate at that level to allow easy access to the trailer, using it as a step. It was also nowhere near the actual testing area. As for everyone wondering "How could they have the trailer so close!?", well when an F1 car takes off unexpectedly, placing the blame on the object it eventually runs into is a little silly. "Who put the pit wall in front of the teams garages!? Engineers sit there!" I wouldnt be surprised to see it change in the future because of this, but everyone's acting like Nostradamus.
The fact that this happened to a woman doing her first F1 test is egregiously skewing the armchair experts' opinions. We will see when the report comes out what caused it, whether it was operator error or a mechanical failure, but the bottom line is if it was Timo at the wheel, a lot of you idiots would be singing a different tune (I'm looking at you torquederp). |

speed guys claiming it was the antistall software that caused it to take off.

Yeah, that seems to be the preliminary cause. The good thing about this is they have all the data in the world to confirm exactly what happened.

As soon as I heard about this accident, I knew the ignorant bigots wouldn't disappoint. She was more than capable of piloting that car in this test, and her experience behind the wheel of an R29 Renault last year is evidence of that.
I can't help but feel terrible for her and her family. |

Also, they haven't had foot clutches for a while, correct? So "pulling" in the clutch might not be the most intuitive movement.

I meant brake, not clutch. I assume that most if not all F1 drivers left foot brake. |
