IndyCar newsmaker Danica Patrick, who recently won her first IRL race, is apparently in consideration for a test drive with Honda Racing’s Formula One team.
Patrick’s victory at the Motegi circuit has enlivened talk that the IRL star may be looking towards a bigger and brighter racing career, including running in motorsport’s premiere series. The driver recently made mention that she would love to try her hand at F1, but only if a serious test was on offer.

Said Patrick, “Every driver would love to drive a Formula One car at some point in their life, so yeah.” But she isn’t interested in being part of a simple publicity stunt either. “I was asked to do a demonstration lap at Indy in 2005, and I said, ‘No way. You’re making me a show. That’s embarrassing.’ But I would say that a real test is absolutely something I would do.”
Meanwhile Honda Racing boss Nick Fry says that the team could be interested in Danica’s services though they’re haven’t been any discussions as yet. “We haven’t instigated anything, but if Danica wanted to be test driver then we’d be more than happy to talk about it,” said Fry.
