Former Stewart-Haas Racing driver and arguably the sport’s biggest female driver, Danica Patrick, certainly has a love-or-hate relationship with the racing community. Even though a major chunk of the fanbase loves the driver’s glamorous image, her awkward character and bizarre actions have also given her a polarizing image.
Patrick’s stint with Martin Truex Jr at the time of his former partner’s passing is a perfect example of this. Irrespective of all this, Patrick still has her own way of carrying herself on social media. Recently, the F1 presenter posted an Instagram story that pretty much sums up her attitude towards her detractors.

NASCAR’s most successful and influential female driver, Danica Patrick, certainly has a knack for controversy. Unlike most of her NASCAR peers, Patrick loves the attention that comes with her controversial remarks. Now, that is the argument most of her haters put forth while they denounce the 41-year-old’s capabilities as a driver.
However, to some extent, her actions support the claim. Her affinity for negative publicity and her controversial remarks have made her a center of attention, making her prominent in NASCAR nation even after her retirement after the 2017 season. Whether there’s love or hate, Patrick has always had her way of carrying herself, and how do you suppose that you ask?

Well, the former Indycar and NASCAR driver’s social media story is another example of her attitude. Now if one thinks her MTJ comments were vile and disrespectful, get a hold of this. Recently, the driver posted an Instagram story with a coffee cup that read, “Too magical for your bullshit.” She also posted a brief caption that goes, “I collect coffee cups with important messages. And my foot doesn’t touch the floor, so they go on the chair.”

While she is absolutely spot on for ignoring what her haters are spewing, if an individual needs to improve in life, he or she must heed criticism and take it as a lesson instead of belittling or dismissing it.

After her time entertaining fans in NASCAR, the driver turned entrepreneur, Danica Patrick, is Skysports’ presenter in the F1 circle. The former SHR driver was quick to offer her thoughts, sharing her difference of opinion with Susie Wolfe publicly. For the first time in history, Formula 1 has an all-female academy that focuses on bringing out talents, bridging the gender gap, and paving the way for more lady drivers to put on the helmets.

While the academy’s managing director, Susie Wolfe feels like Lewis Hamilton is the only one who is regularly interacting with the budding drivers, and supporting them, Patrick has come out with an opposite stance that seemingly challenges the notion. The presenter on the broadcast said, “I think it has to be authentic, I really do. And we know more about Lewis(Hamilton) because of the things that he does. And so while it would be nice I’m sure for Susie to have more drivers supporting and being around and mentoring, they don’t have to, they just have to be true to themselves. Lewis loves it and you see him doing a lot of things and it’s really good. He plays a really big role and he has a lot of influence.”
