I think she is an attractive young lady, but I think she probably gets a little more press than she deserves because of it. The other drive at Indy was kind of between a rock and a hard place. If a fight breaks out, he cant hit her because she's female (atleast that's one of my rules) so I dont think she needs to be getting in any guys face....She's likely to find one that doesnt share my rule.
 
I'm a big F1 fan and don't follow Indy racing... but I do think she's hot and does bring more attention to open wheel racing here in the US..which is good for the sport.
 
I'm a big fan of F1 as well and think that she should try to make it to F1. I know there are rumors right now that she will test with BMW later on...or maybe honda. I can't remember but I think she should. I don't know if she will do well or not but it would bring the US more to F1 and we need that.
 
I honestly don't think she'd be able to hang with back-markers and also-rans in F1.



That's just my opinion, though; I'd love to see her prove me wrong.

well she couldn't do any worse than Scott Speed last year, or even some of the guys this year. Glock hasn't done so well, sutil, etc. I think it would be the best thing for the US to have her driving there. Hopefully she can do it.....if they ever give her the chance.
 
IMHO the best thing for F1 here in the US is to get the USGP back and have a competitive American driver with one of the top constructors, or perhaps an American team based in Europe.



Having major network coverage with the Speed crew is also a good start. Most of my co-workers cannot differentiate F1 and IRL......the general public here needs some education plus a US driver or team that they can relate to. If people follow Danica then yes, I think it would be good in terms of raising awareness of F1 over here... but I agree with Tort...I'm not sure she could hang.

Some people criticize her but she's rated #6 out of 37 IndyCar drivers, not too bad!
