📰 Auto News Danica Patrick scores full test with Honda F1

[Mook]

Danica Patrick, who races for the Honda-powered Andretti-Green IRL team, has spoken of wanting to make the jump to the world's premier form of motorsport, Formula 1. Later this year, according to Honda F1 CEO Nick Fry, the team is going to give her that chance. Danica will be put into Honda's Earth Dreams F1 car in November, probably at the Barcelona or Jerez tracks in Spain, for a full-scale test. Said Fry, "We will put her into our car after the season at the latest and see how quick she is."

The recent record of IndyCar drivers succeeding on the other side of the pond is mixed. It's still too early to tell with Sebastian Bourdais at Toro Rosso, though he appears to be handling things well enough. Jacques Villeneuve did well, but Michael Andretti did not. Scott Dixon, the 2003 IRL champ and 2008 Indy 500 winner tested with Williams-BMW in 2004, but didn't get a seat. Danica's already won a place in U.S. racing history. We'll find out in November if she's fast enough to do it in Europe, as well.

i smell big time fail. I was watching her in the race last weekend. she cant even pit properly when theres other cars in the pit lane! they had to keep bringing her in when the pit was clear.

she would last about 1 F1 race before she gets pulled. Even some of the TOP drivers in F1 are in danger of losing their rides if they dont perform well in a couple races.

woops

Yesterday we reported that Danica Patrick would test with the Honda F1 team at the end of the season. That report was a false start: Honda F1 CEO Nick Fry said there was no arrangement for Danica to test, and that she and the team have had no contact. However, Fry did say that if she wanted to test, they "would be more than happy to speak to her about it." The original source for the Danica-will-be-testing article was an Austrian newspaper interview with the same Nick Fry, which even included a time frame for the test. Something was apparently lost in translation...

If she ever made it to F1 the fucking media circus and shit that goes with it would eat her alive. If she cannot handle racing in Indy without pouting how is she going to handle faster , more capable racers and vehicles?

Does anyone know how she finishes in road courses? Was her win on the Motegi road course or the oval?

However, Fry did say that if she wanted to test, they "would be more than happy to speak to her about it."

I think it would probably go a little something like this:

"So can I test for you guys?"


"Lemme think about that. How about no bitch."
