Smaller size will actually be an advantage to women (and yuki ;) ), as I hear it can get quite cramped in an F1 car. Where they will probably have a disadvantage is lower testosterone levels, resulting in less muscle build-up. That might prove problematic in the physically more demanding tracks like this weekends'.

(although I think smaller talent pool due to lacking money/opportunities is the most limiting factor for women in F1 right now)
