I dislike Danica Patrick
Her podcast is interesting, “how to identify reptilian shapeshifters”, and last year some thing about how there are 57 types of extra terrestrial secretly running the world but they may actually be angels and the origin of religion or something from memory.

I guess you can take the driver out of NASCAR but you can’t take the NASCAR out of the driver.

They clearly want an American voice on the team but they could drop in so many better choices, its just unfortunate that so many of the better choices are connected to the Andretti family who they’re on the outs with at the moment.

Back when she drove Indy Car, she seemed rather normal. She has gone off the rails. I just don't understand what Sky thinks she actually brings to the table... Bernie and Naomi bring a whole lot more.

Well she was dating Aaron Rodgers for 3 years so possibly caught his brain-worms

Most do.

there where better women drivers that never got the chance due to her consistent mid level finishes.

also she seems a bit loony.

Which bit? I suspect she's a complete and utter loony

I only know what the official Formula 1 website wrote. I tend not to concern myself with minutiae.

Lewis Hamilton has put pen to paper on a new Mercedes contract that will keep the seven-time world champion onboard through the 2025 season, with team mate George Russell also retained for the same period.

? I don't think anybody could say a one-plus-one contract with the break clause is the minutiae, it's the foundation of the contract.
It's rudimentary and not exactly complicated: 1 + 1 = 2 only if both parties agree to proceed for the second year; so what you're insinuating doesn't make much sense: 'I’m not the one who signed a two-year contract that was already void after 5 months'

She's spiky.. I quite like her.. She just has a peculiar dress sense, late 80s/early 90s without any irony.
That aside, so pleased to see Jamie Chadwick winning her first race in the Indycar feeder series NXT

Didn't Caitlyn Jenner used to be a racing driver?

However much I'd like to see him at Aston Martin, I so hope Stroll doesn't manage to procure the services of Adrian Newey;
I'd love to see him go to Ferrari or even back to McLaren, or even back to Williams.

Decent hobbyist who did well at the All-Star Race at the Toyota Grand Prix, nothing more official than that.

You need to quit now. The simple matter is Lewis has screwed Mercedes, They have no second driver yet, because Lewis bailed when the things got tough.

Sianz for a year untill his Audi contract starts?

that 17 year old ripping it up in testing?

Perez?

bring back Button? Give Albon a shot in a good car if Helmut releases him. ( ok not Albon as Helmut wouldn’t.)

things just got tough? This is year three that the car has had issues. Do you hate Ricardo? Leaves Renault, Leaves McLaren… all when it got tough.


Lewis quit way before silly season and they have their pick of drivers. So I’m not sure I agree with your analysis.

Lewis screwed Mercedes. None of your other comparisons matter. He screwed them big time. They still have nobody to replace him.

He can’t be a horrible overrated driver who was bad for the team, and bad for the team for leaving.

I am not sure how you can hold both of those thoughts at the same time.
