Danica Patrick punish, perhaps more than 5 seconds

I suppose it's just the latest incident regarding her performance. I noted the 'finally' in the headline, but its inclusion wasn't explained in the text.
I'm not happy with the FIA censoring comments of independent broadcasters, but I might make an exception for her. Has she been warned for her previous conduct? Did she say anything unusual (for her) at the USA GP? Or is it the lizard people out to get her?

I have seen the multitude of headlines with her basically being cancelled due to her tin hatness, I often wondered what its all about but put it down to the usual fake news. Good to see her at Austin.
Yeah, I can't be bothered to try and find out what she's supposed to have said. Does anyone actually know, or are they just repeating some vague clickbait headlines? Quite like her input as a pundit, hope to see her continuing in the role.
I don't mind Danica, yes she can talk rubbish, but equally she makes some good points. But then I like Villeneuve too, mostly for the 'I wonder what he'll come out with next' element, Danica is similar. Would I want her at every race, not really, but I don't have a problem when she does pop up. Oh and the fact that she seems to get under Jenson's skin is fun to watch.
I think a lot of the problem people seem to have with her is.
1. She's a woman in a male dominated sport
2. She's American so how would she know more than us knowledgeable Europeans
3. She's never driven in a Grand Prix, no but she's raced a hell of a lot more successfully than most of those commenting on her ever will.

There actually is a kind of related 'actual' story, she recently took quite a bit of flack for her support of Trump and some political things she said. This started a couple of months back and I think she made a statement that she had over-shared and was going to take a small break from the media.
It now appears that she's back full force and has decided it's her vote, her right to promote her views etc. Which, ultimately, it is of course. Fairly recent history regarding Trumps popularity suggests approx half of her country folk feel the same way, so she's not some lone loony. I certainly don't feel that way, I can't stand Trump... However, she mustn't be demonised for her views.
And the article Derek linked to is very clearly only in existence to demonise her, no doubt at the whim of a party or government that isn't at all pro-Trump. This is modern age global political warfare - she speaks out in powerful support a guy much of the world doesn't want back in office, and somewhere in the world a machine is activated to spam a load of derogatory BS posts and articles about her, to obfuscate her original message. I note that in the instance of this article, it's suggested she made comments that upset LH = subtext that she's a damaging racist, playing upon the stereotype that all Trump supporters are racist. If you look at her own comments, her support of trump is based on some other stuff I also don't really agree with personally, but nothing evil at all: https://x.com/DanicaPatrick/status/184950806651075...
People are going to have to learn how to read if they don't want to be duped or look like pillocks. And by 'read properly', I mean; don't repeat or form an opinion on anything you read until you have satisfactorily made sense of why what you have read might be in existence in the first place.
No offence intended to you Derek, you're clearly of strong character and were simply caught off guard by a particularly insidious attempt at changing peoples views.

I don't know the NY Times. Is it the equivalent to Daily Mail.
I’m afraid your link is not The NY Times. https://www.nytimes.com/ is the real website, https://nytimesnews.us/ is just someone’s blog of what look like made up stories in several different languages.
The reason everyone’s having a go at Danica this week, is that after a lifetime of avoiding politics she just turned up to speak at a Donald Trump rally 10 days before the US election. https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/184920135153790...
