Haas: Patrick's a great
candidate for F1 team
Gene Haas, co-owner of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
team Stewart-Haas Racing, said Saturday that Danica
Patrick would be "a great candidate" for the
Formula 1 team he plans to start for the 2016
season.
Following qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix
in Montreal, Haas was interviewed by NBC Sports
Network and was asked about the possibility of
Patrick racing in F1.
"I think she would," Haas said. "I think she
would. She would bring an awful lot of viewership.
I think it would be great for America. I think she
would be a great candidate. Whether that's going to
happen or not, that's kind of a long shot there,
too."
Former Red Bull technical director Guenther
Steiner, who will be the team principal for the
Haas F1 operation, was also asked Saturday in
Montreal whether Patrick would be considered.
According to Eurosport.com, Steiner said, "Not
more than anybody. But you know, everything is
possible."

Patrick would relish a proper
F1 test opportunity
Every driver would love to drive a Formula One car
at some point in their life, so yeah.
Danica Patrick, who made history when she
claimed her first IndyCar race win two weeks ago,
has confessed to wanting a Formula One test.
Patrick made her IndyCar debut in 2005, however,
it was not until three years later, driving for
Andretti Green Racing, that she claimed her first
victory, winning the Indy Japan 300 and thereby
becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar
race.
The American is now hoping to test her skills in
Formula One, admitting that she would relish a
'proper' test with one of the teams.
"Every driver would love to drive a Formula One
car at some point in their life, so yeah," she told
Autosport.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with a
real, proper test.
"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."
And one team who would welcome her testing with
them is Honda. "We haven't instigated anything, but
if Danica wanted to be a test driver then we'd be
more than happy to talk about it," Honda CEO Nick
Fry said.
