NASCAR Fans Suggest “Danica Patrick Should’ve Slapped” James Corden for His Disrespectful IndyCar Remarks at Miami GP

Last weekend was the inaugural F1 race in Miami. This race was pretty much the talk of the town, with several celebrities in attendance. Two of them were former IndyCAR driver Danica Patrick and talk show host James Corden. As it turned out, many motorsport fans were outraged at Corden’s behavior towards the IndyCar and NASCAR trailblazer.

This was because he was cracking several IndyCar-related jokes. He also insinuated that it was extremely easy to drive an IndyCAR car. Considering that Patrick herself was a former driver and winner, fans found his jokes disrespectful and tasteless.

As per Corden’s definition, IndyCar was just going around a track with four corners in the same direction. So, he quipped that it was very easy to compete.

Some suggested that the driver get her revenge on the talk show host. To achieve this, she could put him in a two-seater and take him for a spin. The fans hoped that such a stunt would probably scare him to bits.

What is Danica Patrick up to in 2022?

Now that she has retired from racing, the former winner has been in the commentary booth often. She has been commentating for a couple of NASCAR races and was in the booth for the inaugural Miami GP. Admittedly, her inclusion led to some mixed reactions from social media. While a few people questioned her limited F1 knowledge, there were plenty of others who backed her to do her station justice.

Most of the pro-Danica fans cited her various commentary gigs in the past few months. Her resume included NASCAR, IndyCar, SRX and even Formula One itself. So it is safe to say that she is more than qualified to take on the role of a commentator. Even her co-commentators on Sky Sports F1 seemed to enjoy her company in the booth with them.
