There are better female drivers who aren't as attractive and are ignored.

Thus far, Ms. Patrick is just a marketing event. The photo sitting on the rear bumper of the '57 Chevy confirms that. If she ever wins a race, she may become something else.

I apologize if I have offended some, but that's how I see it.

Congratulations to Roger Penske whose very clever fueling of his driver's car during a pit lane penalty (something that isn't allowed in Formula 1) enabled Sam Hornish to win the race.

Danica Patrick = Anna Kournikova
Moderately pretty, but pretty moderate talent.
