The pioneering Maria Teresa de Filippis passed away On This Day in 2016. A defiant and courageous racer, de Filippis entered motorsport in 1948 on a dare from her brothers, who believed she'd be too slow; ten years later, she became the first woman to compete in F1. 💅💪 #MariaTeresadeFilippis #F1 #FormulaOne #Formula1 #Motorsport #WomenInMotorsport #FIAGirlsOnTrack #D2BD #OnThisDay #Maserati #Monaco #MonacoGP #MonacoGrandPrix #MotorsportPhotography #Vintage #Retro #MotorsportImages #LATImages
