She's a great driver who moved very quickly (IMO too quickly) up the ladder. She is a gifted driver. However she has had some growing pains to deal with from having jumped into the top tier so quickly.

As for the steering. She wasn't the only one who had it. My only issue is that some did and some didn't have it. That is without a doubt UNFAIR.

Yeah, but why in an article about Danica did they have to put a picture of Brian Barnhart??

As far as a race between Danica and myself, I would have to say that I would finish about 1 or 2 minutes before her and she may not finish at all.....LOL

The title made me think that Danica would be sitting in my lap steering... and I'd like that "assist"

Although she is not the best looking woman, I'd say is better looking that 99% of race car drivers

still, i think its funny that they'd put PS on an indy car, I'd figure the steering would be fairly light already.
