0:00:54 > 0:00:56Now when you think of racing drivers, who are the names
0:00:56 > 0:00:57that spring to mind?
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, maybe?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02One thing these guys all have in common is that they're well guys,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05but Newsround recently went to catch up with one girl who's
0:01:05 > 0:01:07looking to change that.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10This is Jamie Chadwick.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14She started motor racing when she was 11.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20Aged 17, she became the first woman and the youngest driver to win
0:01:20 > 0:01:22the British GT Championship and now she's racing in Formula Three.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24So what is she doing today?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Taking me for a drive, of course!
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Jamie, I'm really scared.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Am I going to be all right?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31You'll be fine.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Are you sure?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Trust me.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38The last few people I've taken out haven't dealt with that well at all.
0:01:38 > 0:01:38They've been fainting, passing out...
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Jamie!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40I trust you'll be fine.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Oh, good.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Are you ready?
0:01:44 > 0:01:52So this is Silverstone, it's the home of British motorsport.
0:01:52 > 0:02:00It's where they have the Grand Prix.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02We're going to go on the circuit that they do the F1.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03It's really cool.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Yeah, coming out onto the circuit now.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Oh, my gosh!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07It's so fast!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10How did you realise you had a passion for racing?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I guess before I started karting, I didn't follow motorsport that
0:02:13 > 0:02:16much, so I didn't really know much about it, but as soon
0:02:16 > 0:02:19as I first got in a go-kart, pretty much that was me done,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21that's exactly what I wanted to do.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Oh, I love this.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24What would it be like if you got into Formula One?
0:02:24 > 0:02:30A dream come true, really.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35It's what you work for, it's what I really want to achieve,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39it's what sets the bar for every young driver, you want to be there,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41racing against the greats, you want to be the best
0:02:41 > 0:02:42in the world.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Do you want me to do a faster lap?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Yeah, go on, then!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Oh, it's so fast!
0:02:48 > 0:02:56Oh, my gosh!
0:02:57 > 0:03:02It's so fast!
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Jamie, that was so much fun.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I've got helmet hair, though.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06How do you get rid of that?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You don't, you just have it for life.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12You're such an amazing driver.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Why do you think it's so male-dominated, this sport,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and do you think it can change in the future?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm really hoping it can change.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Obviously there aren't many women involved in the sport at the moment,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25but when people realise that women can be involved and just as good
0:03:25 > 0:03:28as the men if not better, in my opinion, I'm hoping more
0:03:28 > 0:03:34women get involved.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Next, we're talking about manhole covers -
0:03:36 > 0:03:39not a subject Newsround would usually get excited by,
0:03:39 > 0:03:45but take a look at this.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Tired of boring, dull roads?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Think they need brightening up?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Well, Japan has the answer!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00They've got all arty with manhole covers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02They did hundreds in towns, cities and villages across Japan.
0:04:02 > 0:04:10I'll tell you what, it brightens up the road a treat.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Now check out this wallaby in Sydney in Australia.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It was first spotted on the famous Harbour Bridge
0:04:18 > 0:04:19at five in the morning.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22It happily hopped along in front of a police car
0:04:22 > 0:04:23at about 30 miles an hour.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26After several miles officers managed to move it safely off the road
0:04:26 > 0:04:28and took it to a zoo, where it wouldn't be
0:04:28 > 0:04:36in the way of traffic.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And if you've got some time this morning, head to Newsround online,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43where the pop star Sigrid has been telling us how her brothers
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and sisters inspired her to get into music.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Don't be late for school though!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Cheers for watching.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51I'm back in half an hour.
0:04:51 > 0:04:58I'll see you then!
