The announcement by the W Series organizers of the premature end of the season due to financial difficulties was also a statement of Jamie Chadwick winning the women’s championship title for the third time.
Despite dropping out of the Singapore stage, she is 50 points ahead of her closest rival, Beitske Visser, i.е. the advantage of the 24-year-old British racer is more than convincing. Of course Jamie regrets that the end of the season has been bleak.
“I really wanted to play in Austin and Mexico City and finish the season on the track,” Chadwick said of Sky Sports. – It’s a shame, of course, although I was lucky, because the championship was successful for me. During the season I didn’t even think about it, but you always want to get victories on the track. That’s why I have difficult feelings now: I didn’t think I would be sitting at home when it was announced that I had won the championship …
But it seems to me that the W-series has a future, in that respect I am positive. The organizers of the series can be proud of what they have achieved this season, despite its ending. The races were interesting and the podium at Silverstone brought together a record crowd. The series developed, but financial problems arose …
I think it was the right decision to refuse to host the last three races of the season to come back, get stronger so that the series has a chance to continue.
I want to thank the W Series for the opportunities that have opened up for me. They have changed my life and I am grateful to everyone who has supported me. The end of my happy season turned out to be sad, but I am proud to have become a three-time champion.
Under the contract with the W Series, Jamie Chadwick should receive a prize money of $500 thousand to continue his career, and the total prize money of the series is $1.5 million, which will be divided among the best drivers. Given the financial difficulties of the organizers, it is not yet clear whether they will be able to fulfill their obligations towards the participants in the championship.
