My comment was more to do with the fact that she will never race in f1! This does not include the fact that she can buy an F1 race seat from an unethical team or a dump like BAR Honda can use her as a poster girl to sell Honda Civics!
She clearly races for fun. The following is from her website: "Always having goal in my mind is what keeps me motivated. I love sports like volleyball, tennis and motor sports like motorcycles, jet skis, go-karts, and motocross. I love the speed and adrenaline. It gives me such a nice feeling!" Oh yea, and I have to agree with you on that one; she's hot, very hot.
Don't count on her not driving F1. Bernie can smell a marketing boom when he sees one. Not only is she, A) female B) not bad looking C) american, he'd be silly not to try to steal her from the IRL. Wherether she could drive or not would be irrelevant. Sad but probably true
Surprise Surprise.....Just read that she's actually supposed to get a ride in a BAR at indy, either Thursday or Friday (The Thursday part sounded strange to me). Courtesy of Honda and Gil De Ferran. Let's see how that goes.
Suprise suprise...it may not happen because she'll be in California attending the premeire of the new Herbie the Love Bug movie.
So it will not be a real racing seat. It will be poster girl for F1 and probably BAR Honda to market Civics. She can never race competitively in F1.
True enough but this is the same honda that was kicking everyone's tail in the 80's and early 90's. Can't take them too lightly
"Suprise suprise...it may not happen because she'll be in California attending the premeire of the new Herbie the Love Bug movie." Now that's funny.
Nigel Mansell mortgaged his house to race, Senna left family and home behind - can Danica give up Herbie the Love Bug?
I hate to say it but she doesn't have to. "I'm cute look at my boobies, see i'm a tough girl now let me race" is pretty much all she has to do. Was that over the top?
Met her on the weekend wouldn't exactly say she is over qualified in the boobie department besides i get the impression you wouldn't know what to do with them if you had a chance. She is a good driver, not a great driver. yet. If she opens doors with her cute (and yuppers it is cute) face more power too her. this is an extremely sexest profession. There are a few women who can open doors but their lack of experience or talent gets them closed right after/ Now she is in lets see what she can do other than that STFU
besides i get the impression you wouldn't know what to do with them if you had a chance. That line right there buddy. that's what i'm talking about.
testy ain't we I have read your posts on many threads you / Impy83 a couple of others post much but say little
This is nothing but a forum for our own personal opinions. I'm not here to listen to stupid people talk about things they know nothing about. If you wish to start an arguement that's fine, but you will be having it by yourself.
Over the top? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa Boobies? What boobies? The chick doesnt even have bumps for crying out loud! If she really wants to make the big bucks in F1, the needs a good boob job. Her marketing potential goes through the roof with a C cup. Terry
Racer-666 or what ever you call yourself I am so happy that ferrari Chat has managed to find such an authority on virtually everything having to do with racing and people like impy who are ready to share their expertise on other areas like marketing and Ethics. Your posts regarding Danica are really getting old as you have insinuated that she has her ride with Rahal/Letterman because 1 she is pretty 2 she is a token mascot for sponsors 3 she has some personal talent (insinuating she is schtupin Dave or bobby for the ride.) Here is the simple fact. SHE has now driven ALMS, Indy and a few IRL races. The closest you will get to any of these is on an X box. She would not have turned LAP 1 if she was just a "skirt who can get sponsors" the standards and competition to get that IRL seat is far too high, especially in a top team like Rahal Letterman. The fact that she is physically attractive, good for her. If she can use that to generate intrest in her and the series: big deal. It is exceptionally hard to get sponsors for anything outside the oval track milk trucks they run in NASCAR. Sponsors look at TV ratings, guess what. Because of her the TV ratings have gone up benifiting all the teams and their sponsor arangements. I talked to Michael Andretti, Roger Penske, AJ Foyt, and a number of the drivers IN PERSON and there are some reservations about her lack of seat time in an IRL car but her experience in ALMS and other series makes her a bit more qualified for the seat than MOST rookies. I watched IN PERSON how she was being overwhelmed by the crush of fans and media. Every second she is outside of a car there is someone clamoring for a piece. I actually feel sorry for her. Regardless the tone and intonation of your posts are offensive, sexist and just show how "your opinion" is worth the air that passes rapidly between your ears. Repeatedly you have proven Misogyny is not dead. let me help you here so you don't miss the point misogyny Main Entry: mi·sog·y·ny Pronunciation: m&-'sä-j&-nE Function: noun Etymology: Greek misogynia, from misein to hate + gynE woman -- more at QUEEN : a hatred of women - miso·gy·nic /"mi-s&-'ji-nik, -'gI-/ adjective - mi·sog·y·nist /m&-'sä-j&-nist/ noun or adjective - mi·sog·y·nis·tic /m&-"sä-j&-'nis-tik/ adjective Studies have shown that many people who find themselves expressing this level of misogyny tend to be trying to compensate for a lacking in other areas of life. By putting down a woman who displays even the slightest (and in this case i would assume MASSIVE) advantage in talent or abilities simply displays how pathetic your own existence must be. So there are usually three options on a true follower of misogyny 1 they feel inadequate due to "a lacking in Packing" and feel the need to put down women 2 They are controlled by a dominant woman in their life (wife, mother, boss) and find the need to strike out at others 3 they are suppressing a homosexual desire to BE the women they publicly mock So which is it. Are you a Stubby D!cked momma's boy Closet queen? Or just one of the above. Quote "This is nothing but a forum for our own personal opinions. I'm not here to listen to stupid people talk about things they know nothing about." Goes both ways. Time to take your opinion and shove it.
All please stop the sexual innuendo regarding Danica. It is not only in bad taste, but against the rules on this forum. I'll start deleting posts if you can't behave. Discussing Danica's talent or lack thereof is perfectly fine and whether she can cut it in IRL, ALMS, F1 whatever is welcome for discussion. Just no sexual undertones.
