"To those drivers who didn’t make it through, I offer my commiserations, of course, but I also say ‘well done’. "All our drivers worked diligently, studied hard, and drove well, including those who didn’t make it through. "To the 18 drivers who did make it through, I say ‘big congrats and very well done’.
"But I also want to mention our four reserve drivers, who didn't quite make the final 18 but all impressed our judges. They’ll be disappointed, inevitably, but they’re still part of the W Series family. David Coulthard, W Series Advisory Board Chairman, said:"This has been a more difficult selection process than we ever could have dreamt of in terms of how close it has been across the field.
"That’s the end of one part and the start of another. We’re all happy, although obviously a couple of the women are disappointed, but that’s sadly how it is and they have just got to keep trying.
