Giovanna Amati: The last female F1 driver

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

With the Brazilian Grand Prix about to take place, we hear from Giovanna Amati, the last woman to race in Formula 1. She gave the BBC's Patrick Nathanson her views on Susie Wolff and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's suggestion of a women-only F1 championship. She also says that being kidnapped in 1978 made her stronger as a person. Picture: Former female F1 driver Giovanna Amati. Credit: Getty Images.
