It would have been nice to see her racing at F1 this year... 
Yes, I heard there where some grid places left :wink:Meeyatch1 said:It would have been nice to see her racing at F1 this year...
I think too many people make a stink over her being female, including herself.
The photo shoots she has done just ruin it, makes me feel like she's cashing in on the whole "female racer" thing. And everyone accepts it like she's more amazing than any other past female racer just because shes sightly.
She's not butt-ugly.. thats great! Drive the car and quit trying to sell yourself.

I thought Bernie Ecclestone's comments about her were funny:
Formula One is getting its most high-profile United States presence with the U.S. Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend, but Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone doesn't seem to be too crazy about Patrick joining her male competitors on the track, despite her recent Indy 500 success.
"She did a good job, didn't she? Super. Didn't think she'd be able to make it like that," Ecclestone told a gathering of reporters about Patrick's Indy 500 finish.
"You know, I've got one of these wonderful ideas that women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances," Ecclestone added.

Good job Bernie! Alienating race fans seems to be his strong point these days.
docjohn said:she and Sato look to weigh about the same!
But I believe she is much shorter than Sato. hehe! :biggrin:

Male drivers do the same to some extent. How many posters and ads do you see with Jeff Gordon. They are selling their looks as well.
Damn, Her arms look bigger than both Sato and Buttons'

Main attraction: Danica Patrick draws a big crowd after taking a spin in a Ferrari
Ferrari???? LOL
My observations on this are simple:
1.) ALL race drivers and celebrities sell themselves to some point, so she is no different there. If I was her I would be cashing in as well...it would be stupid not to.
2.) Bernie is a moron. Period. Rich.....but still a total classless moron.
