C) She just won the first major car race by a female

She is not gonna do well, guarantee 2-3 seconds off pace... if she does better than that Ill go and kiss her ass (wanted to anyway )
Hopefully she'll get to Honda and do well so you can kiss her tight ass my friend.

Sorry for being way off base, but I've seen Danica race several times.... and she is consistently TOP 5 in all of Indy... she often has bad luck.... it isn't that she does terrible maneuvers; but she reminds me a lot of Juan Pablo Montoya as far as driving style, and temperament... which is not a bad thing.

I think she'd do well in F1, and cause 3x more controversy then Luis Hamilton did by being 1/2 black.

That said, I don't see a move to F1 for a while... but I do think it will happen. She definitely has the talent.

There is no confirmation that Danica's testing for F1. Why would she test for F1 in the first place?


Nick Fry has denied reports that IndyCar race winner Danica Patrick is scheduled to test for Honda later this year.

According to reports in the Austrian media, Fry has agreed to test Patrick, who claimed her breakthrough Indy victory in Japan earlier this year, when the F1 season ends in November.

"We will put her into our car after the season at the latest and see how quick she is," Fry reportedly told Kronen Zeitung newspaper.

The Honda CEO, though, has denied ever saying this, stating that there are no plans in place to test Patrick.

"There has been no contact between us," he told Autosport.

"But if Danica did want to test one of our cars, we would be more than happy to speak to her about it."
