Yet she is. Maybe AM knows more about her than you.
I'm sorry, but Calderon dominated the W-series, but did not get any resemblance of succes in F2 before that, and ended up 29th in IndyCar in 2022.
Why do you think a driver who did not even finish high in the same W-series somehow has what it takes to make it in F1.
I believe it was Tost who once said that F1 is by definition not discriminatory. Teams spend tens of millions to find fractions of a second per lap.
