So, I take it by your answer, you couldn't come up with anything that doesn't include the word "woman" in it? I judge people, but especially athletes, by what they've accomplished - not by who they are.
She's only had ONE win in over 65 starts - that's NOT setting the house on fire. I'm not exactly sure what her per-lap incident is, but I'm guessing that it's significant. She's stalled coming out of the pits in critical times of the race a number of times.
And, she proudly proclaims she has no idea how the cars work and doesn't want to learn. GREAT drivers know EXACTLY how the cars work and it's that insight that allows them to communicate with the chief engineer or crew chief what's wrong with the set-up.
Maybe I'm not the one who doesn't know anything about motor sports.
Not only that, other than the one win last year her finishes were back in the pack IIRC.
So, by your answer, if the driver isn’t finishing number one on a consistent basis, they’re no good?
She remained very competitive all last season, and for some very good drivers, that’s the most any real fan can ask for.
She’s an outstanding marketing tool for auto racing, a bonus for IRL, a sport that’s slowly fading. Why would you fault her? A beautiful woman doing 200+? It’s not like she doesn’t challenge her opponents. She makes lots of top 10’s.
NASCAR is a civilized demolition derby, far slower than IRL. F1? If you’re not one of the top three teams, your chances of winning a race are zilch. BORING! Le Mans is too damned long. I have a bad case of ADD, I can’t do more than 3 hours.
