She was actually heading for Ryan Brisco who took her out in the pit lane. The Dan Weldon incident was last year or the year before.

She's done a lot of her early racing career in Europe so she know's some of the circuits...unfortuneately in F1 success is based on breaking into the top 5 or 6 which is 100% based on equipment available.

hmmm... I think it'd be nice to see a Danica v. Sabine catfight. Sabine would take her. She's got the height and reach. Danica is short, plus she has the non-flexiblity issue associated with INDY driving. Sabine's an open cockpit driver, she's used to wide swings and jerks. I think she'd be a great jabber...

She's not a MILF but I guess, since she's married, you could call her a WILF...

She will never drive in F1, not talented enough. Danica never even deserved her ride in IRL. She never won a race in the Toyota Atlantic series, yet some how she moved right up to IRL.
I would to like to see Sarah Fisher wreck her and see what she does. Sarah would beat her ass.

She drove for Rahal's Atlantic team. Then Rahal defected to IRL, to go roundy-round racing. Rahal gave her a seat in one of his cars.
At one point, she was a road racer. Now those are her worst events.

Sorry, but I can't consider the IRL major competition. Just look at the experience level of the people that raced Indy this year, their biggest race. She needs to run against real competition on circuits with right hand turns occasionally mixed in. It can only be for promotion, not for a shot at a ride. If she does get a ride, we are going to start to see people buy their way into F1 like the IRL.
