Smile Danica....hot and cold

How many times does she need to spin out before the powers at Andretti/Green say enough is enough

I think Rahal/Letterman got the better end of that deal


I cheered when Dario won.........

Sorry, did not see anything other than F1 this weekend because I was down at Watkins Glen for the US Zippo Vinatge Grand Prix.

That's a familiar look for her and her supporters unfortunately...

After watching this season, I've basically came to the conclusion that "she's just not that good". I mean, I rooted for her but there were a lot of silly mistakes. Spinning going into the pits yesterday, spinning going out of the pits a few races back, etc. etc. She's a good 2nd tier driver and I guess we'll just have to live with that. Will she be the Anna Kournikova of IRL? I hope not but it's looking like it.

I've never even been to the Indy 500. She's placed fourth.

Yeah, it looks like she might be the fourth best driver on her team, but that's still above the upper half of highest-profile open wheel racing organization in the country.

Heck, Dario has had more frequent flyer miles this year than she has.

I feel she has a lot to prove and a lot of pressure stemming from the fct that she is the premier female in motorsport right now. She has yet to seriously produce and I think she realises that. If she got a win somewhere I think she would lighten up and be more fan friendly.

Huh? I'd say the NHRA is full of women who have had a lot more proven success than Danica.
