A woman has driven a Formula 1 car today, despite being a woman.

To everyone’s great surprise, her delicate bones were not crushed by the enormous pressures involved and, more remarkably, her tiny mind did not seem confused by the world passing rapidly in front of her pretty little eyes.

Naturally, the car broke down, almost certainly as a result of the woman’s lack of mechanical aptitude, but the woman was at least able to then park the stricken machine without backing it into another car, no doubt to the surprise of the watching menfolk!

To the relief of all concerned, the woman will not be allowed near the expensive and complicated car again for the rest of the weekend and hopefully will return to baking, sewing and thinking about kittens, as she should!
