Honda confirms Danica Patrick F1 test.

IndyCar Series' first female race-winner, Danica Patrick, to live out her F1 dream after Honda reveals a test will take place.

[Nuts]

Interesting

[Race fan Dan]

What a joke.

[Fred]

It's just a test so relax!

No one said she's going to F1; it's just a courtesy ride; good publicity; a dream come true for her; etc.

[2cool4hollywood]

It's a test drive, not a guaranteed seat. So we will have to wait and see if she can prove herself worthy.

Did anyone get excited about this?

[Ski]

Dixon had a test with an F1 team a few years back (can't recall which team) but he chose not to pursue it. Chances are this will go no where.

F-1 sux as bad if not more than Boxcar.

I don't think so either, Kyle Busch is going to have one as well.

No not going :*(
The gas prices are so high I think we might go to the Belle Ilse race or Kentucky. Kentucky has 4 race tickets, 4 hot dogs and four sodas for $100.00. Don't care much for the hot dogs but the kids do.

Danica is a fairly consistent driver, she's got talent, she will have to weigh whether her career will benefit from F1 vs. staying with Indycars, I suspect, if she goes to F1, she will be more or less, out of the loop in the USA, by her staying with Indycars, she maintains her popularity, and her sponsorships. I dont think she'll increase her income by going with F1, I think for her, the money is right here, with Indycars.

Playboy I want her to do playboy

[mature track driver]

She lacks the proper temperment for F1. Sebastien Bourdais is a better driver, and he's struggling in the 2008 F1 season.

There are some drivers in the IRL that have a better strategic chance in F1, and none are named--Danica.

She can turn left well, but does not do well on road courses. Danica is a good "freeway" driver with her best future being NASCAR.

[Big Wanker]

I'd say you need to look at the whole Danica package, I'd be willing to bet she'll make it, if offered a ride. She'll fire up F1 the way she does Indy, whoever she's racing for will benefit, she's a character, her driving skills are sufficient.

I'd rather see her stay in Indycars, but that is for my benefit, we'll just have to see what happens, I also expected 'dancing with the stars' to offer her a spot! I'd also like to see that!

Kyle Busch will drive the Toyota as part of a publicity campaign. Not a "real test"
