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

Posted on 05/03/2008 7:11:42 PM PDT by red flanker

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.”

Some competitors are complaining about Danica weighing only 100 pounds, but she obviously has been blessed with a divine distribution of her remarkable mass.

I follow both racing series.

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!

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.

There's something disconcerting about women who want to be treated as "one of the guys" who then strip down for sexy mostly naked shots that capitalize on their femaleness.

As far as I can see, that's wanting your cake and eating it too.

"Patrick has the credentials, as well as the glamour, for Formula One. Joining motorsport’s elite has been a lifelong ambition for Patrick."

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)

Apart from the whole killing herself thing? F1 is unforgiving. If the car doesn't kill her, the expectation of perfection will.
