Motorsport is wildly socially conservative. Think billionaires in European castles. As recently as 2005 the person running Formula 1 at the time, said "You know I've got one of those wonderful ideas ... women should be dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances."

Roughly: it's wildly regressive relative to social norms today. I thought formula W was a mistake, but they had good intentions.
