Why doesn't F1 Academy use an F3 or F2 equivalent car? There's no way to directly compare these women to men that are moving their way up to F1, which then prevents women from proving themselves and gaining better seats.

Maybe they chose F4 cars for costs reasons? I believe F1 wanted Academy to be affordable for drivers and teams.
