Lella Lombardi

Lella Lombardi remains a pioneering figure in Formula 1, being the only woman to have scored championship points. Her career spanned 17 Grand Prix entries, with a notable sixth-place finish at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix, earning her 0.5 points due to the race being stopped early. Lombardi demonstrated a determined and capable driving style, often competing in privateer entries. While her F1 career was brief, her achievements paved the way and continue to inspire future generations in a sport historically dominated by men.
