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 dont think theres anything wrong with a real, proper test.
I was asked to do a demonstration lap at Indy in 2005, and I said, No way. Youre making me a show. Thats embarrassing. But I would say that a real test is absolutely something I would do.

Some competitors are complaining about Danica weighing only 100 pounds, but she obviously has been blessed with a divine distribution of her remarkable mass.
Yes she’s quite nicely balanced.
She’s a pretty face but little else.
She’s a pretty face but little else.
I think a test would be a good step.
I doubt she would make it as a starter in F1, but you never know. But it would be a lot of fun to watch if she could run with the folks in that circuit!
She can drive my car any day. Beep Beep Beep Beep YEA.
she would need all of those 100 pounds to flat Eau Rouge at Spa.
Not Guilty!
Oh wait...wrong kind of thread.
She can drive my car any time she wants.
Another female driver made history this past week, Ashley Force became the first woman to win an NHRA event in Funny Car. The cool thing is she beat her dad,John Force ,in the final round. She is also the points leader in that class.
As far as I can see, that's wanting your cake and eating it too.
Don’t forget her body.
Fine with me, I'm sick of open wheel divas taking up space in NASCAR.
(After tonight Carpentier can stay, Fernandez would be welcome, Ambrose and Francitti (sp?) seem like decent guys...but, and it's time to cap it and go back to working up from short tracks)
I'd feed it to her...
She is wearing driving gloves to hide her man hands :^)
my she has grown! looks like her “mechanic” added a little “wing” up front. twice.
Women arrive to skankify another profession.
Apart from the whole killing herself thing? F1 is unforgiving. If the car doesn't kill her, the expectation of perfection will.
well, i had respect and admiration for her until I saw that pic......even so, Tony Stewart can get off his fat ass and lose a few pounds and quit crying about the unfair advantage
