Monday, 6 August 2018 16:00

Jamie Chadwick has become the first woman to win a Formula 3 race.

The British motor racer took victory at Brands Hatch in the second race of the season. She finished third in the opener at Oulton Park.

Chadwick, 20, said: "Today shows it's possible [to win] and nothing to do with my gender. When I'm on the money I know I can be the quickest or one of the quickest."

She moved from fourth on the grid to second by the end of the first lap and stayed behind Singapore's Pavan Ravishankar for the rest of the race.

When Ravishankar incurred a 10-second penalty for a jump start, Chadwick secured a historic win.
