W Series can supply role models

This new all-female series is an important development, as nowadays more girls and women get into Motorsport. Young girls who start karting show up at the racetrack and see the W Series drivers as their role models. That’s something beautiful and special. So, for all the girls and women out there, we asked Sabré if she had some encouraging words.

“For the girls thinking of getting into motorsports, I would say: go for what you want, and don’t let the fear of failing hold you back. It’s not going to be easy, there will be more lows than highs. Believe in yourself. Learn from every opportunity and keep everything in perspective. Positivity is a choice. But most of all, never give up!”

Almost every young driver who starts in motorsport, both boys and girls, dream about reaching Formula 1 someday. So, when we asked her the question if she thinks we will see a woman in F1 again, she answered: “Yes, I absolutely think you will see another woman race in F1 again. It’s just a matter of that right person getting the right opportunities and being willing to put in the work.” She told us she hopes it will be within the next 5-10 years.

Another important but somewhat controversial question we asked her, is if she thinks men and women can and should race against each other in the same series. Her answer was clear: “Yes. There’s no valid reason why not.”

And finally, we asked her to look at the future. Her ultimate goal? Making it to IndyCar! Also, she would love to race the 24 hours of Le Mans and Daytona. As an engineer, she hopes to return to F1 once she’s given the appropriate time to her own racing career. She ends with the words: “But who knows! Life has a funny way of never going to plan.”

2020 will be a busy year for Sabré: racing in the W Series, but this week she also announced she will be returning to the Road to Indy with Team Benik for a partial season of Indy Pro 2000.
