Will Danica Patrick Be The First Female F1 Driver? (No Hot Rodham Jinx Please)
Auto Racing Daily ^ | May 3, 2008

Jenson Button could end up with a female team-mate before very long.

His Honda boss has offered talks to pint-sized American racer Danica Patrick after she made history in the Indy Racing League series.

Patrick made her IndyCar debut in 2005, however, it was not until three years later, driving for Andretti Green Racing, that she claimed her first victory, winning the Indy Japan 300 and thereby becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar race.

The American is now hoping to test her skills in Formula One, admitting that she would relish a ‘proper’ test with one of the teams.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a real, proper test.

“I was asked to do a demonstration lap at Indy in 2005, and I said, ‘No way. You’re making me a show. That’s embarrassing.’ But I would say that a real test is absolutely something I would do.”

She is a race car driver not an accountant. Sheis also something of a celebrity. Being sexy is part of it.

You know zero about her character. Now if she were bedding down with all the other drivers I might agree.

But theres nothing wrong with a well known car driver having glamour photos.

Unless you have some ax to grind.

She’s just another sex worker.
