Time to Forget Ms. Patrick

[TedN]

Without doubt, Danica is the most overrated and overexposed driver racing today. Never in the history of sports has so much attention and coverage been lavished on such a mediocre athlete and it would be just and right if some of that misplaced attention shifted to the genuinely talented Simona de Silvestro. Indeed, de Silvestro's fine performance in St. Pete demonstrated that she's a real racer, faster and more aggressive than anything we've ever seen from Danica.

IndyCar likes to trumpet its competitiveness and there's no doubt that it is very competitive with one second covering the fastest twenty in St. Pete. But one of the reasons for the tight field is the lack of power and performance, less than a GP2 car in fact. With more power, like a proper Indy car should enjoy, the field would open up putting more emphasis on the spectacle of the cars and less on the charm of closely packed fields. You only have to stand trackside at a Formula One race to appreciate the spectacle produced by F1 cars and take on board how much more impressive they are to watch and hear than a current Indy car.

Perhaps thar belongs in the other thread about Dallara's F Renault but it seems highly relevant.

Well im the biggest anti Dani there is ... Credit where it's due: She drove her Ss off Sunday from 30 to 12th. It was awesome --- she also beat Stewart who was 17th. :thumbup:
