Danica Patrick once said the 'female mind' is not cut out for racing
Discussions about bringing women to the highest level of racing, like Formula 1, have been growing in recent years. And while the overwhelming belief in the community is that women can do just as well in racing as men, given equal opportunities, Danica Patrick once came under the spotlight for saying that the nature of racing is more suited to men than women. Her comments were made during a special children’s broadcast at the 2023 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Patrick was asked if she thought women would compete in Formula 1 soon. She replied that it was unlikely, saying it takes almost innumerable female drivers to find one with top-level talent.
“At the end of the day, I think that the nature of the sport is masculine," Danica Patrick added (via Planet F1). "It’s aggressive. You have to, you know, handle the car—not only just the car, because that’s a skill, but the mindset that it takes to be really good is something that’s not normal in a feminine mind, in a female mind.”
These comments have attracted negative attention because they come from one of the most successful women in racing.
