What else could get me hyped? czcams.com/video/h4KIvPUcKPs/video.html
Turn Sprints into F1-R (rookie) series. One practice (Friday), Quali (Saturday) & Race (Sunday). Each F1 team has 1 rookie driver that competes in the series for the season. This way F1 gets the extra ticket revenue and fans get a new entertainment series and it won't ruin the regular race weekends. This also allows teams to have a 3rd car to learn from for the main F1 sessions so the work the rookie does would be extremely vital and important for the teams and development during the season.
So far she and her family seem to have a very well established and thought out plan, it kinda reminds me of the football journey of Jude Bellingham: hone your craft, don't hype expectations and then strike to the next step when time is right.
I hope she will also get her Real Madrid goal, it would be an incredible achievement for her and the sport as a whole
If she can get a season in Super Formula, or even in Lights, that would be a HUGE opportunity and in a series which is gaining fans internationally at an incredible rate after Red Bull's experiment with Liam worked wonders and is now continuing with Ayumu.
I'm not convinced it has been a well thought out plan. Coming to Europe for junior racing if the end goal was professional international motorsport was the right idea but the weird non start of a low level US series and jumping around in Europe since feels really weird, that she's getting good results is a strong testament to her potential more than anything else.
You speak like someone who isn't familiar with the series she's raced in, how she's gotten into racing in these series and never watched her race.
Hideki doesn't have a clue how to bring her into F1 and a huuuge chunk of that is because she's nowhere near the talent level required
She's still really young. She's still 17. Not every driver needs to be like Kimi Antonelli. She could be a great Super Formula driver in the future and probably get into F1 with Honda or Toyota (if they enter) when she fully develops as a driver (2026-2028)
Exactly! She doesn't have to get into F1 right away. She had a muddled 18 months but this surprise swipe at Super Formula is a really big deal for her.
You truly believe a female can race in F1? 😅
@@fingerprints2983 yeah,they have done in the past. Just needs to be a talented driver that is below 23 years old, with 40 Super License points with good timing and money. Realisticly, I don't that is going to happen until 2030 the earliest, as the isn't any promising girl in karting right now and the path from world karting series to F1 take between 5-8 years; but still, I think that it will happen at one point.
WEC already has front runner drivers in GT3 and LMP2, in Indycar a woman qualyfied for the Indy500 this year, in Formula Drift the is also a woman, in Nascar there is Haillie Deegan in the Xfinity Series, in Dirt Racing there is Lia Block (who's now gonna compete in F1 Academy), Juju Noda could be in Super Formula and in Formula E there are already female reserve drivers.
@@fingerprints2983 please be more open minded 💀
@@fingerprints2983I mean michelle mouton has showed that women can compete if not do better than most men
The fact that these young people are so skilled at such a young, young age is phenominal!
I could never drive an F3-like when I was 11!
Chess
Tbh it's because we now breed people for it. Children have insane neuroplasticity, basically how much information you soak up and retain and can then use. people have started getting their kids into this stuff SUPER early and literally train them for that sole purpose.
What ever happens in her career, it's clear she has already gained a plethora of experience. Wishing her all the best. Also I think you are one of the the few F1 CZcams channels I've seen that is generally supportive of F1 Academy and W-Series which is really nice. Really hope to see women in Formula 1 (again) someday
Thanks! I really don't understand the hostility toward this idea. Any initiative to provide young upcoming female talent is to be commended. Look how it's working with football!
W Series and F1 Academy are very misogynistic
This isn't like weightlifting, all you need to know is how to drive.
@@balintgaga7102welp, if that's how you feel. Shame you can't actually see why it's here 😕
@Balingaga.. So, driving an F1 car is just like driving a road car, right?
I’m amazed that this channel doesn’t have 100x the subscribers. This channel is outstanding.
Your topics consistently highlight fascinating aspects of the motorsport community.
The videos have excellent production quality, all coupled with an interesting and knowledgeable personality.
Bravo, and thanks for all your hard work. You rock.
Thank you very much, Ian! I try my best with these things and I am always learning with every video. Welcome to the attic!
I think a full video on Palou and McLaren is a must. I've been paying attention to it and still have no clue how that happened.
I think it's slowly coming to a head and definitely worth a look once we get some more information on it.
In a nutshell for you: Mclaren wanted to sign a replacement for Danny Ric so they contacted Palou, Piastri, and other drivers. Palou agreed signing with them verbally and waited until end of season. Piastri said yes and on paper too. So during that time Palou agreed to sign with Andretti and Mclaren said that he can wait if he still be part of Mclaren F1 team. That part of signing with Andretti and Mclaren made him kinda suing and had a friction not only with Mclaren but also with Andretti. That's what I remember but please correct me if I'm wrong.
@@bimapriambada1098wasn't it Chip Genassi instead of Andretti?
@@beanlentilYes that's very correct of course I could be wrong about that but you know what I mean.😊
Young Japanese ladies are popping up in every thing now, and I'm Here for it.
In the world of drumming, we have yoyoka and I haven't been this excited about a new drummer in ages. I'll happily retire knowing we have that beast brewing up her career.
So, I'm happy to see on popping up in motorsports and wish her the absolute best in her career. We need more Moutons in this world.
I'd add that possibly the best drummer on the planet (or at least in the conversation) is a young Japanese female: Senri Kawaguchi. To be in that conversation at 26 years old in insane.
Doesn't have to be too much too soon though. I'd rather Noda's career matures in Super Formula in her home country before mounting a charge for F3.
Well. She's showed talent. Let's see if she can do well in Super Formula and get the backing
She managed to stick around after W Series and found a way to an F2-like series. To even have a chance at a season there is pretty impressive.
Juju is a formidable driver, she has shown shes more than just a pretty face....a true un coming champ. Love the way she drives.👏👏👏💙 she is the first female in bloody years to get podiums in euroformula which is recognised by fia as equivalent to F3.
Thanks! I've been wanting to talk about her journey for a long time and now with this Super Formula chance, it's the perfect to do so. Even if she doesn't get it, she can get a chance at Super Formula Lights and then try again.
Loving the motorsport content for series I don’t really know much about. It’s an interesting way to get insights into these series!
You're welcome, pal! Thanks for being here.
I´ve seen her racing around Brno circuit this year and to be honest , she got skills , comfortably dominating there , she´s been faster by over 1 second a lap over everyone else , just crazy!
Yeah that seems to be her standout race for sure.
The series in question is pretty much made up of former racing drivers who never really reached any serious level (relatively speaking obviously) and don't take racing as seriously anymore. She's also one of the few drivers running a full season. Don't be fooled by her dad.
I imagine that Juju is probably going to head to Super Formula Lights first with this test being a thing. If she does get a seat in SF Lights, that means there is a chance she can go against the likes of Iori Kimura or Igor Fraga.
That would be a much more reasonable solution, considering she has experience with those kinds of cars.
Love your work old spor'. Always informed and entertaining, keep the vids pumping 😀
Excellent video man! I'll be watching out for her from this video!!!!!
Her Boss GP podiums in a Renault 3.5 was remarkable even though as a champions it's just gentlemen drivers but it was a perfect rebound following the euroformula treatment and she has been testing the 3.5 in preparation. 2024 might be a bit early for a seat but tests aren't just about getting the drive. She definitely got this on merit when you look at results compared to others in the test. Your view on this being a place to develop so teams want her for F2 or F3 is spot on and if she does get the drive I would like to see her do a duel programme in Europe in the Boss GP or more likely the German Prototype Cup in the Ginetta she tested last week as this mirrors what others do with WEC. What ever she does regardless of getting to F1 as a woman or not she will be top professional driver for years to come. Her regular Autocar Japan blog is well worth a read when it is updated about a week after a race.
Oooh I missed that Ginetta test. Neat! I feel the SF/Lights path to the higher formula is a sound one these days. Especially given how its popularity is growing overseas.
@@LawVS like you say her path so far has been unusual and I guess Hideki didn't want her to get lost in the Japanese system four years ago but lights could now be just right given the car like you said and her profile which is what counts for sponsorship. Think the Ginetta test was part of the reward for zinox/drexler champion positions, dint see anything about timings but think she showed speed and that professionalism. Now subscribe to your channel because of this great content.
What "treatment"? She was "forced" to have the car run at the same minimum weight as her competitors and not 26kg lighter. Her dad withdrew her because without the advantage, she'd struggle and lose credibility. That's also why she's raced in many obscure championships. I have nothing against Juju but her "achievements" have been blown out of proportion
It'll be interesting to see how she does in the SF car, and if she gets a drive, even better.
A video on the Palou situation would be nice, I'd be interested to hear your opinions on it.
What do you think of McLaren partnering with United Autosports for WEC in 2024? Given that Zak Brown is a founder and co-owner of UA I'm slightly surprised he hasn't tried to put together something between them and McLaren before tbh. Mind you, there was Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris competing in the 2018 Daytona 24 Hours.
McLaren's lineup for 2024 is going to be nuts:
2 F1 drivers
4 (3 full time) IndyCar drivers, plus they have their 'strategic alliance' with the Juncos Hollinger team, so that's another two drivers
2 FE drivers
2 Extreme E drivers (in one car)
6 WEC drivers (between 2 cars)
And in terms of backing for young drivers, there's:
Bianca Bustamante in F1 Academy
Ugo Ugochukwu in Euro F4, who made his F3 debut in Macau
Gabriel Bortoleto in F2
Ryo Hirakawa in WEC (though that one's more Toyota than anything else I think. Plus, he's 29, that's not exactly young for a racing driver these days!)
I am seriously stunned with McLaren's attempts to out Red Bull the Red Bull Junior Program.
@@LawVS There is a veritable web of connections with other teams involving McLaren:
United Autosports both through Zak Brown and this WEC partnership
Walkinshaw Andretti United in Supercars, again through Zak Brown
Andretti Autosport through WAU's connection with the team, thanks to Michael Andretti also being a co-owner
Juncos Hollinger Racing in IndyCar through their 'strategic alliance' with them
Hendrick Motorsports in NASCAR through having Kyle Larson run at the Indy 500 in a Hendrick-backed car.
And also with Toyota Gazoo Racing through having Hirakawa on their books and McLaren's longstanding use of Toyota's old F1 windtunnel in Cologne.
And that's without the teams their junior drivers are driving for such as ART (Bustamante) and Virtuosi (Bortoleto).
You really release your videos at a perfect time of day, became part of my lunch time routine at work
That's good. I like to try my best to hit the lunchtime crowd. Food for thought.
You are the greatest #F1CZcamsLadderMan ever to publish F1 contest. All hail you!
I hope she does Super Formula Lights before the championship proper. It felt intentional that she was racing with the same car this year and would be a good chance at getting more experience, and it could get the attention of one of the major manufacturers in the series, like what seems to be happening to fellow child of a former F1 driver Enzo Trulli.
She'd still be the youngest driver on the grid, too. This year's Japanese F4 champion, Rikuto Kobayashi is six months older.
Indeed. If she went into Lights, I would be still be impressed and reckon that would be a great place to learn. Super Formula? That's a bit of a crabshoot. Could be good or could be too much for her.
Great video! I was shocked when I saw that she would get a chance to test it. I hope they're not rushing her but ngl it would be sick to see her in Super Formula. That series is great and I'm sure the interest in it would go higher if Noda gets a season there
I hope she gets to Lights first and then move up
Yes! I was waiting for this! 🙌
I actually considered becoming an individual sponsor of Juju, I remember seeing back then on Twitter when they were asking for funding. Might not be the case anymore but who knows.
Just like you, I started to follow her journey since Josh's video. I am a fan of her and I really hope she can blossom out like the sakura trees. IF she could secure a Super Formula seat, that would be huge. Those cars are mental.
What helps is that she's getting all three days to test. That's a good sign!
Hi Mr Law hope your well this year I’ve absolutely loved your channel also love the climbing up and down during the intros and out Ros of all the videos and as for the Japanese 🇯🇵 drivers I love Yuki but my number 1 favourite Japanese 🇯🇵 driver is Kazuki Nakajima mainly because of his teammate and the Williams Livaries with AT&T sponsorship was great sadly the Williams a bit rough and like Kazuki F1 career was but since then he’s won Le Mans 24 race 3 times a fantastic achievement 👍
juju is the one of the best female formula drivers outhere, competes with men and being super consistant.
That's a great point about consistency. JuJu winning that Zinox f2000 championship gave her some fantastic experience of the difference between winning races and winning championships. A race is a battle, but a championship is a war. She seems to have the level-headed approach that it takes for the latter, which is impressive at her age.
She's got more to do though. If she can get a Super Formula or Lights seat that would be a great next step
@@LawVS Agreed. SF Lights seems like the most obvious step, but if she impresses enough at the test and lands the full SF seat, I don't think she'll be in over her head at all.
I think what F1 Academy really needs is an F3 team for the champion to graduate to. You win the F1A, you get a guaranteed 2 years in F3 for other teams to see your talent
That's a fair idea, but that would require F1 paying for a team to run them in place of a driver with sponsors. Some sources peg that figure at being $1.5m a YEAR.
Haven’t got the balance. Does the video on the ladder. Brave dude!
YEAH!! Would be super sick to see her in
I've followed her for a very long time now. She's absolutely brilliant
She's stuck it out all this time which is commendable. Hopefully she can have a year or two in Japan to further refine her skills before her next European move.
"-AS THE F1 CZcams LADDER MANNNN. But don't worry I'm not delusional"
I'm cracking up, great writing 😂
I come out and throw takes at the viewers.
I like f1 academy especially with successful drivers progressing past the program just after the first year unlike the w-series, but im glad Noda decided to go towards a different route. Definitely one of my fav current female drivers right up there with Wadoux
I get why they use F4 cars and I'm pleased it exists and F1 is taking it seriously, but it's not for everybody and right now it isn't for Juju.
Had no idea about her but I’m a fan now!
Right on! Hope she does well in the test.
I've been following Palou's legal fiasco only this year, but it'd be interesting to hear your take on the topic. Slowly becoming a fan of your content, keep up the good work!
"F1 youtube ladderman" i'll forever remember that
Super Formula is a hidden gem I only discovered after the series came to iRacing. I've been hooked ever since. Brilliant racing!
I'm glad it's getting more international recognition as a credible alternative to F2 and Indycar.
She also had a test in a Ginetta LMP3 prototype aswell.
Oh yes I caught up with that after this video. Very good.
Thank you for creating Juju's content! Considering Juju's growth up to this point, I wonder if aiming for F1 is the best option. If possible, I would like to aim for the top in SF for the next few years, then step up to FIA-F2 from there, and if my performance there is well-received, I think the path to F1 will naturally open up. To be honest, I don't think there will ever come a time when F1 teams will give seats to selected members of the current F1 academy.
Sure, the series she has competed in aren't exactly mainstream or anything, but it's all important learning at a grass roots level which is what all drivers require. Now she's old enough to compete in Japan, I am excited to see what she can do with these training days. I would like her to start off in Lights and then move up but if she's got the speed for SF then alright!
@@LawVS
This test should make Juju's current power visible, so I think it will be the beginning of a new challenge. I don't know yet whether I will be running in Japan or overseas, but...
During the TGM Grand Prix CZcams live, she mentioned receiving offers from FIA-F2 as well.
Really? That would be crazy though in terms of cost. I remember Hideki mentioning that a season of F3 would be 1.5m Euros and that Formula E would be a better goal in terms of being cost effective. I wish I could understand Japanese and could've understood what was said.
Juju, Kamui and Rio for an all japanese GR010 Le Mans entry.
Depends on how she does in SF.
YES! I'm glad someone finally did in in depth review of her career rather than just saying she sucks based on what they read on reddit, i love her and i hope she can achieve great things, weather that's super formula or maybe even f1?? maybe!
She's worth a look at and this alternate path to higher formulae is intriguing. Definitely a wise move.
If she goes well in the Super Formula test & then secures a seat, then she will go down the road for F3 or F2 in the coming years.
Give it a couple of seasons before maybe jumping over to F2 or F3. Super Formula would be a great place to learn stuff.
Thanks for this you popped up on google search first when asking what she's doing. Really hope she makes it to F3 at least, not a fan of f1 academy as it's same as W series which is really just a marketing gimmick. Wish her all the best....as do I for your loft ladder. Pop down wickes & get yourself some chipped boards son & build yourself a little den
Yeah, that Super Formula test will be exciting. She did well in Formula Renault 3.5 machinery tests which is (I think) closer to F2 and ahead of F3 in terms of power. Super Formula will be the closest to F1 cars you can get being more powerful than even F2. I really love how these cars look!
Rookie series are really great as of late. As a Polish person who hasn't seen representation in F1 since Robert Kubica, I've been followin lower series to see young talents emerge. And lately there's been excitement around Kacper Sztuka, a polish driver who won Italian F4 without support of a big F1 team, beating Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari juniors in the process. Actually, after that win Red Bull Junior team picked him up and he's set to start in F3 next season in RB colors. That's huge, none of our young drivers made it to an actual F1 team academy in the past. He did all that beng sponsored by a damn sawmill and a local alluminum company up until now! Certainly a name to keep in mind. Kacper Sztuka. I have a feeling we might see him in F1 one day.
Thanks for the tip! And yes, that FR test was obviously a cue to see if she was able to handle that type of car. Glad she's getting all three days.
On one hand, seeing such a young driver in what is essentially the second fastest open wheel category in the world is a genuinely exciting prospect. On the other, it feels like too much of a stretch for it to be a good idea. Jumping from Formula Renault cars driven by amateurs to basically F1.5 ones driven by pros who could race in F2 is gonna be a challenge. We could very well have the next Max Verstappen on our hands or a talent struggling to develop in a cutthtroat series for a long time. This is definitely the deep end.
Which is why I'm hoping she has a season in Lights, the step below to really get used to the competition. But then again, it's common for drivers there to spend years perfecting their skills so there might be less pressure to impress out of the gate.
We need to have sprints turn into an F1 rookies series with their own 3rd car for each team and a rookie driver signed for each team
That would be a neat idea, but that would be additional costs and resources which F1 is trying to minimise.
could also create a lot of new revenue to counter the costs and increase the interest towards F1. Maybe allocate development resources for this so its part of the next years car development programs already@@LawVS
I really hope she gets a drive in SF Lights, Super Formula itself would probably be a step too far at this point in her development and the Lights series would still be far and away the most competitive championship she's raced in as it's the old Japanese F3 series which was on par with the old British and Euro F3 series when they were still around. Would probably be good for her to race in a team thats not being run by her dad as well.
Very true. I'd be more assured if she went to Lights for a year as it's practically the same car as she's been driving the past year.
Are you gonna give updates on the tests if you can Masako?
If there is an easy way to do so, I'll keep tabs on the outcome.
Ok, not hyped (yet), but you got me interested. Only 17 and doping fine so far is good news. I hope that test goes great for her and grant her a seat.
And the ladderman can secretly dream of her winning an F1 race in a McLaren.
Oh this isn't hype worthy yet but this has been fairly solid progression. She hasn't sat idle since W Series folded.
Her dad Hideki Noda was a F1 driver who drove Larrouse in 1994 season. He only appeared three races.
He did, yes. However he was meant to be driving for Simtek in 1995 which were looking OK going into that year but then the money ran out from the team.
Just now Juju will race in Super Formula 2024
I saw and that is brilliant!
Are you still working on the part 2 for the season with out red bull
Of course. But I'm pacing myself. We've got three months until Bahrain.
Logan just got announced as driving for Williams again next year!
I saw and good on him!
I'm danish and i wasn't aware of we had a f4 championship.
Indeed! Since 2017, I believe. Glad you know!
You won't from next year on.
I think the main concern is Noda's racing career was mostly spent on motorsports farmers' league with less competitive drivers, far below Super Formula's level. She might be beating them but so far her results in Super Formula is not great. I saw latest race's highlights and people basically called her a moving chicane
I think she's got a couple of years of just simply training and learning how to work with a full team instead of just with a few mechanics and her father. Super Formula is a place where you can get drivers staying there for YEARS AND YEARS.
Liam Lawson needs a spot in F1, even more than Ricciardo.
He really does. 2025 will all become clear.
As Albert Einstein often shouted, "Bad JuJu man...PLENTY big-Bad JuJu !"
She's not bad. She's managed to keep up somewhat with the SF crew.
Juju on that beat
Definitely a great move.
@@LawVS Thx m8
Me who just came here after watching a Josh revell video: "I'm definitely in the matrix."
Well Josh wasn't going to make a follow-up video clearly. So I did one! :D
@@LawVSW dude!
I would love to see her in F1. I think she could beat at least some of the current drivers.
I don't see that happening right now, as F2 stars can barely get a word in. Right now, I think Super Formula is a brilliant place to hone her skills at a very competitive level. Even if she has to start in the lower category of Super Formula Lights, that would be a good one.
She got the seat in SuperFormula, we need another video 😂
I think this one is OK for now. We shall report back to see how she does in this and BOSS.
I think regardless where she's going, getting first hand experience is definitely an advantage. Even if F1 never works out for her, there are many other competitive series where she might fit it. IndyCar, WEC, WTCC, her choices are endless if she can prove herself out there. Also keep a lookout on Lia Block as well, I think she is another female driver to look forward to.
According to Japanese CZcams channels, the Nodas have considered Formula E as an option.
I do hope that she can perform well and get the chance to show the world her talent.
There were some female driver that looked interesting but she feels like a female max verstappen in the making.
I don't see that level of talent. Nobody can match Max right now. But she can certainly aim to be competent.
If a women is fast enough for F1 the teams will fight to get her, so so much sponsor money would follow.
She's got quite a few sponsors from Japan which is vital for this next stage of her career.
Like Josh had said in his video, I don't think we can tell if she is good or not yet. Sure she did well in Boss Gp series, but Mahaveer Raghunathan won in an Boss gp series series and we all know how that went. We need to see her in a mainstream, competitive series before we can truly see what she can do.
Of course. The test was probably to deduce if she could even cope with faster cars. Fortunately she did. So far in the test she's done well putting in 100 laps with no crashes and is within 2.4 seconds of the leading time which for her first time in such a powerful car is not bad at all, she got the same time as Matsushita got on day 1. It's progress.
I am a fan of Juju, but after her times in the pre season testing im a bit hesitatnt if this is a good move for her. WHat do you think about her real chances in the series and hert future if she fails big itime herem casue so far she was last in all session a like 4 secs behind the best time..
I don't expect Juju to make waves just yet. This is a bold move and a lot of drivers spend YEARS in Super Formula before getting traction. This is going to be a training ground for her.
@@LawVS yeah … just hope she doesnt get burnt for in my opinion a bit of a rushed decision . Also hopes she does well in a team that is not her father… that will be a big adjustment
I also wanted to comment on your video about formula 2 but I just might do it here: I think the main problem is that the old generation is completely gone but Hamilton and Alonso so there is simply no seat available until the current generation gets old in like 10-15 years. The only drivers I can see leaving formula one soon would be Zou, Magnussen and Sargent. There are only so many seats available.
And goat Lance of course. But that only five seats in the next 2-5 years
Logan's got another season but I can see Zhou and Magnussen out next year.
If she gets the full time SF seat and feels comfortable it would be ideal to get a couple rounds in FIAF3 or at least an FIAF3 test to see how that goes too
I think that would be very expensive to fund, the F3 thing. I think a season in Lights would be better and then do the rookie test again a year later.
@@LawVS probably true actually, I think FIAF3 do have a couple of mid season open test days during the season but a good target would maybe be the post season winter test or the pre season test at Jerez, would be good for experience and could generate some hype too
i cheer for Juju because she isn't the self entitled type, but humble.
She impressed with her skill, not screaming look at me, look at me.
We have to be realistic with our approach regarding Juju. The last thing we should do as fans of her career is overload her with pressure and expectations. I would be happy with her doing a year in Lights and THEN try the test again next December to see where she stands.
I hope she has more luck than her dad. He seemed to be definitely on a decent level for an arrows style team even if Simtek went west. He beat Kenny Brack and Pedro Diniz in F3000 so that's got to count for something even if Diniz was just Lance Stroll with a Brazilian accent
Yeah, shame Simtek didn't work out for him. Glad he's able to make some way with Juju.
@@LawVS one thing I will say about the approach with JuJu is that it reeks of Esteban Tueros rise through the ranks because he was constantly shunted up the ladder by the Argentine media, sponsors and even Carlos Reuteman who should have known better. His racecraft was hindered by never getting to bed into a series to hone his skills because he was spending his time adapting to new machinery when he should have been learning about consistency and it really hurt him given that he did one season with Minardi, got mocked relentlessly by everyone despite his troubled development before retiring from F1 and I just think that's really sad. Especially since he always qualified well and proved Brundles bad attitude wrong by never being troubled by the 107% rule. Even Peter Brook was fairly rude about him and I don't want that to be JuJus fate too
JuJu NODA
Yuki TsuNODA
I think I’m seeing a pattern ☹️🤔🤔
I think they've met!
Gee ..only 100k what a bargain
Considering the media clout F1 has, that's not all that bad.
Mugen still makes bits and bobs for motorcycle that are cutting edge...
Yeah, Mugen is still knocking around in all sorts of categories.
She’s a cutie. I wish to hug.
Let's not go there, please. It shouldn't be about looks, with all due respect.
Honestly, I don't know how this could crack any sort of hype knowing she's only been able to win in Euroformula Open with a car that was between 15 and 26 kg lighter than her opponents'.
Which wasn't something they demanded. It was a total farce how the series handled it.
You forgot Ukyo Katayama. An absolute boss. Not so much in F1 but the dude scaled Everest (yah, THAT Everest) and runs a Super GT team.
Of course! There have been quite a few over the years. Makes sense the dude could do such boss things with yama in his surname.
Her team is waiting for honda and toyota to enter during the 2026-2028 era, the same way yuki got his seat and he is finally doing good in f1. by then juju will be 20-22 perfect time to be jn f1. She gor time, no need to rush the development. Spend couple of years in super formula and maybe go to f2 if a japanes team does nor bring her to f1
I see a Yuki yard stick joke somewhere here
I think they have met.
Hmm interesting :)
Definitely worth a look!
I was all excited about Juju until she bombed in FW. I get it that she was the youngest there, but if she was a genuine prodigy ready for F1 she should have been up there fighting Jamie.
You obviously didn't get the story....she was put in a car little to no time to get the car set up and expected to race and perform. She had just left racing in Europe on the podium several times and went into a series that was a shambles.... back then and collapsed. At present, there is not one driver on the f1 academy grid that could match her driving skills.
She was an Academy driver and only 16 years old where Jamie Chadwick had won it twice already. She scored though at least.
@@LawVS I don’t think it’s an issue of if girls are good enough for F1, but when they are good enough for F1. Saw an Inyerview with Jamie, where she said she got into the game too late, and I think that’s the case with most girl drivers. Juju was the first female driver I thought that could make it to F1 because she had pedigree and has been behind a wheel since she was 4.
As an example 90% of any driver from F3 could have won that formula W championship. And they are in that Juju Noda age bracket. And honestly She should have been there fighting Jamie if she was F1 potential. Jamie dominated FW and in Indy lights she is just midfield.
As more girls are entering karts and motorsports, it’s inevitable we will have a girl on merit lining up on the grid. I just think we will have to wait a little longer, as unless Juju makes a quick jump up the grids she is racing, I don’t see her being that girl in F1.
@@MarkMateljan-kc8ip I watched her drive some F4 races post FW. She was keeping up with some drivers but quite far from the lead. Trulli was driving more at the front and no one talking about that.
As for Formula Academy. I’ll be honest I don’t know where they got those girls from. I don’t think I can make a judgement. Didn’t see enough races.
I think Juju is OK, I think she will eventually do well racing in Japan and have a respectable career racing, but I don’t think she’ll make F1 :(
if i were to choose to an female driver to be in formula 1 i would have to go for juju and im excited to see what she will bring in super formula and maybe subbing in for a f1 driver (ok this maybe too extreme but then again liam lawson did exactly that and got a taste of f1 ) just imagine juju driving an f1 car in fp1, the media will be buzzing
Doubt that would happen though. And I'd rather her get there legitimately after a couple of seasons in Super Formula and Lights.
F1 has too few teams and too many cuddled drivers. Of course with the budget cap in place, taking on new drivers becomes risky because the size of the repair bill is only a guess before the real bill comes in. So teams value certainty so more of the limited budget can be used for development.
Sounds like she's doing good. Perhaps next year she can compete against Liam Lawson.
Agreed. The cost cap has made teams risk averse.
Rhis test is likely for a Lights seat and not for SF proper, but a good excuse to test her against more seasoned talents along the way. A shrewd move getting her in there at all if you ask me.
SF is clearly faster than even F2 so the idea of jumping from where she is presently all the way up to SF wpuld be akin to Verstappen's F3 to F1 leap.
I would be happy with that, honestly. Lights would be a more prudent pick since it's cars since she is more familiar with. What gives me hope this is a legit career move and not a publicity stunt is that she's getting ALL THREE DAYS to drive and a dedicated number whereas Matushita and Lindh are sharing cars. If she can cope with three days of driving these powerful cars, that will be a huge achievement.
I think super formula is for sure a much better path than f1 academy. Juju's W series campaign was definitely disappointing but hopefully she can make big progress, I'd love to see a woman in f1.
I believe her first day of testing had her doing the most amount of laps on the grid; but her times were quite off the pace. However, she has three days of testing in machinery FAR more powerful than what she's tried before. Hopefully the next two days will be better.
I want her on a Team Mugen Formula car or a Hypercar/GT
I think that's a little much too soon.
@@LawVS Yeah I know, but I would love to see it happen plus she got time in her hands.
Law, the grid for next year will be the same as the one of this year. Could that be the first time ever?🤔
Depends how you interpret that. Consider de Vries.
@@LawVS That's true.😅
She ended up finishing the test 2 seconds slower than the absolute fastest time. She ran every day and got faster every session.
Yeah she was learning a lot and didn't crash or make a mistake. Over 100 laps too.
Why are you filming this in the attic?
To contain my lofty thoughts
oh dear, i feel likea failure seeing someone my age do this
Still can't ride that bike.
I hope she will turn out to be the Japanese Max Verstappen. Not in character and she might not reach that level of dominance, but her getting in to F1 around 2026 (Aston Martin?) would be opening up interest from many female drivers and the general public around the world. As she rises a true female talent should be supported by both teams and sponsors. If Domenicali and for instance Hamilton are serious, they should help with backing.
And she should just remain focused on racing, let her parents handle the fuss and do where her talent is. An English course might help though ;)
I don't see that happening. All I hope for with Juju is a credible and competent driver who can hold her own. That's an easy goal right now.
If mr. Revell made a follow-up video on it, surely there'd be a comment like "her chances of getting into F1 are as slim as sir Lancelot's chances of winning a WDC".
Oh, of course, and a joke about Sean Gelael or Lord Mahaveer.
B R U H H H
Damn, someone Rule 63’d Yuki.
The haircut isn't it?
There is actually another major reason for going to Europe. In Japan, you can't compete any racing competition unless you are at least age 16. So to gain racing experience as young as possible, you have to leave Japan.
Indeed, which is why the least three years have been very important learning for Juju and that season with W Series probably helped a lot. She and Bianca were roughly equal and considering the latter has done OK in F1 Academy and bagged the McLaren development gig, that's hope for the former.
If it wasn't unfortunately kinda difficult for non japanese speakers to follow and figure out what's going on in Super Formula.
I wouldn't be surprised if they have an English commentary soon with the added interest.
@@LawVS Here's hoping!
Her dad just wants top competition for her and the F1 Academy (W Series) is not the way. Juju needs to compete with other boys/men if she wants a shot at F3 or F2
Agreed. F4 are not going to help her right now. She's already adept with F3 stuff
Boss gp was the campionsip that maverneer ramanutan won en euro formula open had the last years les tan 20 cars on the grid and danish f4 is not a big championship and the stx 2000 campionship never heard of it so lets hope what she can do in a real championship
Oh yes, I never once say these championships are major ones; but they are experience at the grass roots level which is always important for any new driver. BOSS GP at least gave her a chance to race some Formula Renault cars and she obviously did well enough to justify a crack at the Super Formula whip.
i wish theyd make an easier way to watch other motor sports without a hundred subscriptions
It's getting better but we could always do with better and less gated methods.
First time hearing about this young talent. Get the feeling Liberty Media wants to grow F1 by getting more female participation in both drivers and fans. Let’s see how the F1 Academy helps with that cause next year
If they also want women in F1, F2 and F3 cars need to get power steering. F1 (and basically every other series except IndyCar) has it so why is it not being used in the junior formulas where it would help alot?
I think Liberty saw the potential of W Series and did their own thing which seems credible as lauded junior category teams are backing it
1 point towards a super license is more than 99.99999% of people ever get a sniff of....I hope it can work out for her.
Indeed. Better than no points. Super Formula offers a decent amount, even the Lights category does.
Not everyone has to make it into F1. There are lots of other race competition that need drivers also Formula E looks exciting.
Indeed! That's why drivers in F2 should really look at other categories to either hold station before an F1 seat comes in or seek potential glory elsewhere. Giovanazzi and Ericsson being prime examples of middling F1 careers but excellent ones in WEC and Indy respectively.
Jujuを応援してください😂
Of course I do! I want her to have a fair shot at the big leagues but what I also want is for her to learn from the best teachers possible and be patient in her education and training.
