I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States. Danica Patrick backbashfulcompromise share on social
I've never asked for special treatment along the way. And I'm never going to hide the fact that I'm a girl, ever. That's obvious, isn't it? Danica Patrick askfactgirl Change image and share on social
I spent my whole childhood watching open-wheel racing. I spent years going to England and racing open wheel, coming back and racing open wheel. It's been my world for 20 years and beyond that. For almost my whole life, I've been watching it. I watch it and I think I know how to do it. Danica Patrick backchildhoodcome share on social
The last time I was pulled over was in 2005. I was going 55 in a 35 mile per hour zone - which I don't understand because you can barely even idle at 35 miles per hour. Anyway, I was ordered to go to traffic school. It was an 8-hour class and really painful. Danica Patrick barelyclasshour share on social
I think there's a lot of deep-rooted history in England with racing. Lots of Formula One teams are based there. Formula One is obviously a huge sport over in England and Europe. Danica Patrick basedeepengland Change image and share on social
I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me. Danica Patrick addbelieverbig share on social
I've never seen myself as a 'girl driver.' I'm just a driver. Danica Patrick drivergirlhave Change image and share on social
I mean, you've kind of got the track down, especially with ovals. The only thing that improves is that when race conditions come, you know what to expect slightly more from the track and from your car. Danica Patrick carconditionexpect share on social
To be honest, once you've driven around for about five, 10 laps, you don't notice a difference. Danica Patrick differencedrivehave Change image and share on social
