is he just saying incorrectly that women can’t drive?

Nah, in some older video he was replying to some comment about throttle/brake pedal cameras where the commenter was basically asking for upskirt shots of female racers and he got relatively serious the problems women face. Too bad I cannot remember the title. I would link it then.

He’s saying that F1 Academy is bad and I agree. At most 5 competitors are actual race drivers. The entire competition is a show piece to make F1 look progressive, not to actually get women into F1. Sophia Flörsch refused to participate in W Series for this reason.
