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

[cripplecreek]

Yes she’s quite nicely balanced.

[infantrywhooah]

She’s a pretty face but little else.

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!

[LiberConservative]

She can drive my car any day. Beep Beep Beep Beep YEA.

[Man50D]

Let's see her drive a race car in that outfit.

[bobby.223]

she would need all of those 100 pounds to flat Eau Rouge at Spa.

[Nik Naym]

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.

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)

she obviously has been blessed with a divine distribution of her remarkable mass.

She is wearing driving gloves to hide her man hands :^)

Women arrive to skankify another profession.

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

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

[Elle Bee]

This is a ridiculous question; either a trick, or, I suspect, extremely uninformed.

NO, Danica Patrick will NOT be the first female F1 driver, not because of lack of talent, but because WE’VE ALREADY HAD THE FIRST FEMALE F1 DRIVER. 50 years ago in fact.

Maria Teresa de Filippis (who raced 1958 - 1959); more successful was Lella Lombardi 1974 - 1976, and others have tried - Divina Galica (1976 - 1978), Desiré Wilson (1979) and Giovanna Amati 1992 .

She could become the latest, but seriously, is she the most talented driver not to be in F1? Or even in the IRL?

this babe is all style over substance and certainly doesn't appear to have the physical strength to drive in F1 let alone the talent or expierence

.

[devane617]

She better stay put. She will be a miserable failure anywhere else.
