There’s got to be a bit of eye-candy factor to it.”On replacing Hill, Chadwick told the Daily Mail: “I hope that anyone who switches on the TV screen and sees female pundits – they see female mechanics, engineers, and drivers hopefully in the future.”I think now the key is going to be trying to transition that female fan base into actual female participation – actually being involved in the sport across the board.READ MORE SUN STORIES”And I really don’t think that’s going to take too long, given how quickly we’ve seen the fan base change.”But it’s fantastic for the sport.
