Danica Patrick insists that finding a future female F1 driver does not interest her, and urged women in motorsports to compete against men.
podcast asked Patrick about developing a female driver and and she answered:"You're assuming I want that, you're assuming that is important to me. It's not.
"It's always an interesting stance I have on it. What makes the sport really popular is great racing - you can have half the field out there, women, and have it be follow the leader. It's not going to be interesting to watch. "Good racing, and that's what we have so much of these days in Formula 1, pretty much everything other than Max is a toss-up for who's going to be second, third, fourth, fifth that weekend, and so that's what makes it really appealing.The F1 Academy is a new initiative designed at developing female motorsports talents.
"I do have a bit of, not a criticism, but an opinion about female series. It's fine, it can give opportunity for some who might not get a chance otherwise to show what they can do, but at the end of the day, you're going to have to race against guys. "When you watch golf, you watch that a lot of times, a golfer that's maybe not ranked as high, will rise to the occasion with whoever he's golfing with, and I think that tends to happen in all sports.
