Formula E fans must be very familiar with Swiss driver Simona de Silvestro, either because of her drive in the gleaming blue Amlin Andretti in season 2015-16, or for her role as test driver under Susie Wolff’s command last season. Not to mention that she’s the first female driver in Formula E to score points. And now her name is affiliated with German car manufacturer Porsche.
Subscribers to MotoGP.com's VideoPass or audiences with access to Fox Sports are perhaps very familiar with Amy Dargan.

The Red Bull Rookies Cup selection event for 2020 season took place at Guadix between Oct. 15 and Oct 17. After three days of selection event, 11 young riders were selected and welcomed to 2020 Rookies Cup. Among the over 100 riders being considered at Guadix, three are girls - Raquel Ananda Nogueira Vaz from Brazil, Valentina Martinez Trujillo from Colombia, and Aditi Krishnan from India. Unfortunately, none of the three girls ended up among the 11 selected riders. But what do you expect when the odds of being selected is 10 to 1 you start with only 3% of the field being women. We were lucky enough to be able to catch up with Aditi on the Friday after the selection. She was with her family on a mini vacation in Spain piggy backing off of the selection. We were able to learn a bit more about how she got into racing and her experience so far.
During MotoGP Thai GP race weekend, we had the opportunity to sit down with Dorna's Event Director Norma Companys.

We caught up with Susie Wolff during FIA Formula E Sanya ePrix. This was before we launched Paddock Sorority and the interview was published as a Chinese translation on a Chinese sports website. We think now is a good time to resurface it for more people to read in its original language.
