With enough money, even the talent can be overlooked in F1 (or just about any racing series). Just the way life is - the bills have to be paid one way or the other.

F-1 is about to become irrevalent - Costs, Lower teams leaving (including the threat from Red Bull & Toro Rosso) Engineering taking over Driving, Going to Foreign Markets that have No Fans, alienating what True Fans it has instead of the All-Mighty Right Now Money campaign leaves it going south. In the End, Danica will be a name focused on , but never chosen. She belongs in ChumpCar

I figure it may be time for her to retire as she's not bringing big sponsor bucks with her anymore. If you check websites for her net worth, you'll see she's done fine for herself however!

It was a race to see who would be out first, Danica or Marco... guess she "won" as her daddy didn't run the team.

"Patrick's final NASCAR race at the Daytona 500 captured her career to perfection. She had photojournalists embedded with her, a hunky celebrity NFL QB boyfriend by her side, social media buzzing — and a crumpled Chevy towed to the garage that put a premature end to her race."

Well, at least she had a career in Racing, made her money, and is still a celebrity that can get endorsement money. At least she didn’t cause this accident (but didn’t manage to avoid it either). We’ll see how she does at Indy.

She's pretty, she can drive a race car fairly well, and she's a woman.

That's about it.

Many great male drivers never won a race (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

A win in japan, 3rd at Indy, a bunch of top tens and $60mil in the bank. Was there hype because she was a woman, sure and she took advantage of it, good on her. Wouldn't have even been a comment if she had been a man.

You can be a hater, but I'd call that a successful career in racing.

That's a internet search guesstimate.
But yep... that would buy my two shits of what haters think.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) her teeshirt should read 'i have millions of dollars. Go back to your day job' or 'who cares what you assholes think? I'M RICH!'

She did bring a change to racing. It used to be that drivers got paid for winning the race, she got paid for starting the race.

I’d agree, she did OK with her talents and marketability. Long gone are the days when raw talent and ability to win races got people competitive rides (if that truly was ever really available). Thankfully she didn’t get injured from all her ‘incidents’ and should be financially set for life.
