She lost it when she almost won Indy a few years back. She's afraid of the car. No more traction control and she says she turns down the mixture to make the car handle better. I wonder if Penske passed on her...if he did, the reason would be "we don't need a pretty face, we'll just win races instead." |
How very prescient of me. Too bad you and the rest of your
dimwitted brethren here are such tedious johnny-come-latelies:

"With the possible exception of a late crash, equipment failure or
other unexpected caution flag condition involving or affecting the
race leaders, Danica Patrick will neither win, nor have a single
podium finish, for as long as she participates in open wheel
racing against the likes of talent such as Wheldon, Kanaan,
Herta, Franchitti, Castroneves, Hornish, Bourdais, DaMatta,
Junquiera, Tracy, Vasser ... "

even when she went to Rahal's team in the IRL. This year, she must
produce or she will be labeled a failure -- even if she beats Marco in
championship points. I mean, she is leading the golden boy as we speak
and his season has been pitiful so far.
Andretti must need the sponsorship bucks to hire her after the fatted
Honda cow pulled engineers and prime bucks from his operation -- Or is
it the attention he craves for his dethroned team?

getting on the podium in recent races.
Bernie must be wetting himself with the thought of a new black audience , if
they can drag themselves away from shooting baskets !

Wasn't it last year? The reason she turned down the mixture was that she
did not pit for fuel and she was running on fumes at the end. Had she made
it with the gas she had left, things would have been different.

pretty easily. so it seems. since she did the fastest qualifying times in
the Indy and recent Japanese race. Still, something - maybe a lack of
testosterone? - keeps her out of the battle league once the race has begun.
She's still young, but I also agree she needs to produce a win....and
sometime soon.

She has said repeatedly in interview she turns in down.
