Millionaire Danica Patrick is a lady of many talents. On one hand, she has been a successful NASCAR stock car driver and the only woman to have ever won the 2008 Indy Japan 300. On another, she has her own podcast called ‘Pretty Intense ‘, where she invites experts from various fields of study and engages with them, providing valuable insights.

The 41-year-old has recently covered the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix for Sky News. After a hectic weekend at the event sponsored by Singapore Airlines, she felt her allegiance with her own kind, who live light years away from Earth, and sent a message to them.

It’s not new that Danica Patrick travels a lot. After all, she has her own brands of wine and fancy candles. Managing all her business and simultaneously working as a reporter must have drained Patrick completely before she wrote about how fatigued she was after having spent 21 hours without sleep.

Do you remember what ET used to say whenever the adorable alien wanted to get in touch with his people? You probably don’t. In a recent Instagram story, Danica Patrick assumed the role of an Extra-Terrestrial entity and wrote, “ET phone home, I’ve been up for 21.5 hours 😫” Fans could see the sleeplessness clearly on her swollen face as she flaunted her UFO printed, green t-shirt that said, “GET IN LOSER”.

 

From celebrating her dog’s birthday with peanut butter to considering herself an alien, Danica Patrick’s life is anything but boring.

However, after she spilled an outrageous statement about Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo, the fans bashed her ruthlessly on Twitter. But what did she say?

The most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel car racing predicted the F1 sensation’s career, and this happened

During the Dutch Grand Prix, Daniel Ricciardo suffered from 7 fractured bones in his left hand. Indeed, this is a major setback for someone whose day job includes the active use of one’s hands. Along turn 3 of the seaside circuit, Ricciardo rammed into the outside wall with his hand, absorbing the entire impact.

Red Bull senior adviser Helmut Marko has admitted that Ricciardo’s return to the sport is uncertain for now, as the team will not take any risks letting him drive the AlphaTauri unless he is fully fit to do so. Unfortunately, this might force the 34-year-old speedster to miss a share of the Formula 1 season.

Danica Patrick said, “Daniel Ricciardo is obviously at the end of his career.” And that is where it all started.

Fans pulled no punches while slamming her.

Someone said, “Daniel Ricciardo is obviously at the end of his career’ what if u shut tf up danica, how about that” Everyone started adding on to his hate.

A fan wrote, “Danica got no opinion I’ve ever agreed with. Danny is thriving, injuring your hand doesn’t mean your career is over!? 😤”
