How Chadwick's u-turn poses big questions for W Series
With two W Series titles under her belt, Jamie Chadwick appears to be the perfect candidate to break into FIA Formula 3. But a shock return to the series in 2022 appears a curious move – not just for her, but for the all-female series too
"I don't think it would make sense for me to return to W Series," Jamie Chadwick told Autosport in November.
Just three months later, the Williams Formula 1 development driver has announced she'll be coming back to the centrally-run championship to defend her title for a second time and will take up a slot on the grid with a 'team' endorsed by Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner.
