The only way Danica will win a race this year is against Heather Mills in an egg-and-spoon race. Mediocre driver who appeals to a certain demographic, but hardly F1 material. He had no idea what to buy for the other leg mind you.......... Ba dum, tish! ![]() |

I certainly don't think Danica is at the very top of Indy Car, much less F1, but there have surely been lesser drivers in F1. |

But let's face it, we've had lesser F1 material before. I think Sato was the first into the wall incident at Indy this year. And let's not even discuss the talents of Scott Speed, Yamamoto, or quite a few others. To be brutally blunt, Patrick who is nearing 30, has but one professional win, ever in major motorsport. In the major feeding series, Formula Ford, Atlantic etc., she has no titles, or wins. On the big Indy ovals, she is a competent driver, content to stay out of trouble, move up with attrition, conserve fuel and hope for a good result. With top equipment and team personnel, this is an excellent strategy for todays IRL. On road courses this strategy works not so well. But F1 has exactly zero ovals. I did not check out all the drivers mentioned above, but noted Scott Speed has some F Renault wins, and a Nascar Truck win to his credit. I would think there are dozens of American drivers with superior open wheel, sports car and stock car credits who are never mentioned for F1. Watching a wet F1 race, or last week Monaco, one is reminded of the true caliber of F1 drivers; it is no put down to point out that Danica Patrick does not belong in this select group, based on her racing credentials. |

No I don't believe there have been lesser drivers in F1. To be fair here, Patrick herself is no longer talking of a F1 career, it is simply some of her supporters who may be getting carried away. So, I'll take Mark's advice: I'll be nice to the new poster (Hi, new poster! ![]() |

Her wins will come in NASCAR - but it don't matter because most guys out there would lay 10 miles of cable in the middle of the summer in death valley with a pick and a shovel just to see where she Pi____s from. She is competent, pretty but if she can't get into a penske or ganassi she will have trouble winning in indy. She would need 2 yrs for the f1 curve to even see any hope.
