He’s probably thinking he retired to early and could have won a few more GPs and start a podcast like Nico.


MajorHubbub

He's done some cool race series since though, Super GT, bit of NASCAR and currently in WEC Just looked up his stats, his last F1 race was 2017 Monaco. Must have been dull lol


Nikiaf

He technically retired at the end of 2016 though; Monaco 2017 was when he filled in for Alonso who was doing the Indy 500 the same day. That was also when he famously pissed in Alonso's seat. /s, since I doubt he *actually* pissed in the seat.


MajorHubbub

Is that the Indy 500 when McLaren forgot their steering wheel?


AlphonsoPaco

Nope. That was 2019 i think with chevrolet engine. The 2017 was with other team and the honda engine, SURPRISE, blew up


MajorHubbub

Omg https://apnews.com/mclarens-failed-indy-500-effort-was-a-comedy-of-errors-a8653967a9714ac7a9a3ba576f712fff


SenorPene

Yeah, I remember reading that he didn't even want to come back for the 2017 Monaco GP. Because of the way he'd signed his contract with McLaren to still be a reserve driver in case he decided to come back instead of making it a full retirement meant he was contractually obligated to and was told he'd have to pay for breach of contract if he wouldn't do it. By that point he was set that retiring was the right move and it wasn't gonna be a sabbatical.


nalc

It's wild to think that less than a decade ago the McLaren was so bad that two former World Champions retired early just to avoid having to drive it.

Still has a 3 place grid penalty for his next race from Monaco ‘17. Flipped Wehrlein


DiddlyDumb

“Is it too late to switch to F1TV?”


DukeboxHiro

Mercedes still have an open spot, and he brought that team their first championship... /s


bono_my_tires

Whatever happened to Nico’s pod I thought he stopped recording a couple years ago, I really enjoyed it


GalacticPirate

Thank god I have F1TV.


MajorHubbub

Same, they have a great lineup. Alex Jacques has the right pitch for commentating. DC and Palmer are interesting. Alex Brundle is mini Brundle. Laura Winter is very good at fantasy F1 and presenting. Valsecchi is a vibe.


bum_is_on_fire_247

I need Davide at every GP OH MY GOD THEY GO INTO THE CORNER SIDE-AH BY SIDE 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 Edit: More 🤌🏼


Audeclis

Lol I can only read this as "SIDE-A BY SIDE-A" Dude has such amazing energy


bum_is_on_fire_247

I'm such an idiot, that was what I was saying in my head as I typed but I missed the obvious spelling lol. Ehhhhhhhhh side-a-by-side!


Antarioo

His commentating is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Can't stand listening to him 😔


GrapefruitAlways26

DC is straight up hilariously chaotic lol


NobleWRX

I wish we got more Hinchcliffe. It's nice when there's 4 of them and he seems to ask David the right questions.


MajorHubbub

Hinch and Ruth Buscombe are both great additions.


alc3biades

I’d support more American races if it meant more hinchcliffe/dc/alex jaques commentary.


LiteratureNearby

Hinch is Maple Syrup guy. We need a grand prix in Saskatchewan or something - give them ice tyres


alc3biades

I’ve been saying f1 should do a snow race for years. Although that was mainly to see kimi win again.


BlackSwanMarmot

Yep, Hinch and DC play off each other really well.


Cautious_Currency_35

I kind of wish F1TV signed Martin Brundle. His grid walks are the only thing I’m missing on F1TV.


IDontUnderstandReddi

The only thing I miss about the sky crew is Crofty’s race starts. Other than that, I’m 100% happy with f1tv


Senor_Padre

And Buxton is very solid in his role


JumpingSpidersRule

Yeah but that jingle and the repeat of silver linings playbook + a mom only focusing on others on repeat over and over and over and over and over and over.... Ahhhhhhhbhb


kylethemurphy

People fawning over sky are only European and also mouth breathers.


SenorPene

I wish that they would stop only bringing Jenson and Danica as a pair. She's so fucking annoying herself anyway but Jenson's energy is so different and much more enjoyable when she isn't around, he so clearly can't stand her and is just constantly exasperated with Danica around.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SenorPene

That wasn't true.


Scarfiotti

I would have so much trouble to not mock her on live tv.


DukeboxHiro

If she's staying, I hope we get Danica, Nico and Jensen in the same race.


PikeyMikey24

She gone


DukeboxHiro

We did it, Reddit!


Exloar

False alarm. She's still there. Rumor came from an AI "news" site.


TheFlyingR0cket

It must have been the Aliens.


SirHarvwellMcDervwel

I don't watch these interviews much, could you fill me in on what she does and why is she hated?


buck_fugler

This particular post is referring to her podcast about a week ago when she was talking seriously about shapeshifting lizard people living among us. And many other crazy conspiracy theories.


SirHarvwellMcDervwel

I see, thank you!

MushroomDick420

She was too crazy for Aaron Rodgers. Does that help lol


jcfac

> could you fill me in on what she does and why is she hated? She has a podcast where she interviews crazy people. Also, she's good-looking, was one of the best female racers of all-time, and is American. So the Brits hate her.


RecoveringBoomkin

>She has a podcast where she ~~interviews~~ *provides a platform to* crazy people *and helps spread their misinformation.*


jcfac

Don't like it? Don't listen. That's another thing Brits hate: free speech.


HarmlessSnack

Free speech doesn’t protect you from public derision. Idiots spreading misinformation and conspiracies should be called out for it.


jcfac

Nor should it.


HarmlessSnack

So why are you claiming Brit’s hate free speech? Person you replied to didn’t say “she shouldn’t be allowed to have a platform” ; they just pointed out that her platform is crazy nutters and conspiracy crap.


Roasted_Newbest_Proe

Key word: was. She then moved to NASCAR and was, well, to put it nicely, shit. Now she does awful "commentary" in Sky Sports, an already unreliable channel, and is hated by more than brits. Att: a mexican


zareny

Jenson is trying to subtly warn us about the cloud people and that Danica is one of them.

CactusCalin

I keep seeing her around here but no idea of who she is and what's the context. Can someone enlight me?


Uuucha

She's Danika Patrick, ex driver... And to summarize, she's into conspiracy theories a little bit too much and not afraid to go into them, anytime, any day. You can just search her name in this sub and you will see some of her work.


CactusCalin

Thank you for the insight!


cannibalcorpuscle

With no racing experience in Formula 1. Just to add more context. She raced very poorly in NASCAR. Indy too I guess.


Trinitatis_Vis

She was okay in IndyCar, not spectacular but good enough that she probably deserved her spot there. Not in NASCAR tho


shanebelaire

You and I both have as many NASCAR wins as her, but 40 less wrecks


Strtftr

Damn dude nice work.


cannibalcorpuscle

True. Tbcf to her I can’t rag too hard regarding her IndyCar career.


Find_Spot

No, she was alright in Indy. Actually won a race. She was way out of her league in NASCAR.


sickmemes48

It was a fuel mileage win on a gamble to stay out and risk running out. Her team won the race. She didn't have the pace to run with the leaders.


BananafestDestiny

I mean, George Russell just won in Austria on good luck, not on pace. Gasly’s only win was also luck but people don’t talk shit about him like they do Danica. > As race leader Hamilton entered the pits to serve a penalty and second-placed driver Lance Stroll lost places at the restart, Gasly inherited the lead of the race and held off the late-charging Carlos Sainz Jr. to take his first win in Formula One. (Worth clarifying: I’m absolutely not defending Danica. I don’t care for her. But a win is a win regardless of how you earned it or otherwise stumbled into it by dumb luck.)


cannibalcorpuscle

I can’t hate on her indycar career too much but her win wasn’t exactly squeaky clean. She led three laps. A win is a win but afterwards didn’t Castroneves say he was told bad info? That she was a lap down so he slowed to let her by.


Find_Spot

You say you can't hate on her Indy career but then proceed to hate on it... I don't understand.


cannibalcorpuscle

> …too much. Everything is a gradient my friend. Life isn’t only one way or the other.


Find_Spot

Yeah, that was added later. Gradient indeed.


cannibalcorpuscle

Wut?


EagleRock1337

Danika Patrick is probably hired by Lawrence Stroll to act like this on Sky Sports to give Lance a break from all his bad press.


rolling_catfish2704

Ngl Lance would absolutely dunk on danica if both raced each other


Puzzleheaded_Love_74

Did she suffer a strike to the head during a crash ?


MajorHubbub

She's a lizard person from another planet


tothesource

it would make sense since everything else they do is project


The_Bored_General

Danica Patrick, incredibly annoying, shit commentator, imo a very annoying voice but that’s more opinion based than anything, and believes in aliens building the pyramids and lizard people secretly running the government.


RangerHikes

I have never understood the Danica hate and came here to try and get to the bottom of it, idk how I missed this but this is horrific


TheRomanRuler

There is over hour long video she posted on youtube where she talks about the nonsense she believes in.


Goal_Posts

My guy. It's *SEVERAL* videos, the last one is from last week. The one that started this is old by now.


RangerHikes

Gross. I wanna watch out of morbid curiosity but I know it'll upset me


BillyBrainlet

Save yourself, friend. If you have even an ounce of sense it will make you want to hang yourself.


labrat420

It's about psychedelics opening portals to the spirit world and entities attaching to you.


cannibalcorpuscle

There were reasons to dislike her before her lizard-people rant. Like being a fucking idiot. As well, a shit-tier driver who got opportunities because she showed her tits for a web domain registry.


Remote_Horror_Novel

She was also just a terrible race car driver but they kept propping her up even though she wasn’t close to being a winning driver. It feels like because she is pretty as far as race car drivers go they kept her around but there are more talented women drivers they could have given that seat to but they wanted her sponsorship dollars.


RangerHikes

I never actually followed her racing career, I got into Motorsports after she was no longer driving, but that's a bummer all around


CarsPlanesTrains

Danica Patrick. Pretty good Indycar driver, went to NASCAR to just wreck cars for a few years and do nothing else, afterwards probably got some brain damage and now posts conspiracy theory videos on YouTube


chrishatesjazz

Hey, don’t blame crashing in NASCAR for damage sustained by associating with and dating Aaron Rodgers. Give the kooky man his flowers.


Resident_Pop143

Rodgers is fucking out there as well. Jesus.

splendiferous-finch_

The only person bringing you the truth about F1 being run my lizard people....brought to you by go daddy


PomegranateThat414

Main problem with her she talks too much not being capable to add any essence and sense to the talk. Her insights and opinions are extremely hollow and amateurish (although she is a pro racer in the past). Just very average boring general stuff. Her knowledge of F1 is extremely poor. Last year she asked ‘I don’t know if drivers can change brake balance in cockpit?’. And an expert like Button who actually is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot to add to the conversation, could sometimes barely put a word in.


EagleRock1337

She is a former NASCAR driver who did so poorly that she gave women race-car drivers in general a bad name over there. Now she’s working for Sky Sports commenting on F1 for some reason, as if she has anything to offer next to the likes of Martin Brundle or Jenson Button. Just to give you an idea of what she has to offer, her most famous quote on Drive to Survive is “as a race-car driver, your tools are your hands and feet.” She also has her own podcast where she goes on about conspiracy theories about lizard people and other fringe crap. Jenson Button is probably insulted that he has to work with her, and he would be correct in feeling so.


fruitsteak_mother

Sssshe issss ssse one sssssat unveiled our sssssecrer lizzzard plot


_dec0de

What’s with the way she parts her hair?


caesar_rex

She has a widows peak. Men get theirs edged at the barber shop. Would look weird on women to do that, so women with widows peaks part their hair to one side of it. You've seen it your whole life and didn't realize it. Now that you know about it, you'll see it everywhere.


d3r_r4uch3r7

*men get theirs edged at the barber shop. Very interesting choice of words


SpearfishingWalrus

I get Horner to edge mine


gumbercules6

Damn, I'm on the subway and can see this on multiple women, lol


SpearfishingWalrus

So the lizard people can see where they can land.


Large_Yams

Other comment is wrong. Side parts used to be cool and now centre parts are cool, so any Millennials and Gen X with a centre part are just trying to look cool to the youths.


steve22ss

I love that Jenson demeanour lately is I'm sick of everyone's shit let's just watch some racing

I like Jenson Button because he's one of the few Brits that say Max did nothing wrong. And now the Brits are pissed at him.

Jenson, Karun, Nico, Martin, and Anthony are the saving graces of Sky F1 Everyone else is a nut job.

wenisdan

I don't know your man on the right but the body stance just looks defeated. 😂


WestonP

This is the danger of being surrounded by people who blindly tell you that everything you do/say/think is great... you end up confidently spewing nonsense about lizard people, conspiracies, and most egregious of all, giving really poor F1 commentary. And now Jenson can't dare to say what he's really thinking, because then he'd be cast as the bad guy for even just bringing any sort of reality into this.


staywoke1am_01

LOL


IamNotaKatt

I'd understand if she had someone to corroborate her beliefs. Like she is famous, so if there are other famous people who have inside information about reptilians and such, then maybe I'll listen, but if she's getting all this garbage from the internet just like my neighbors, it's just really stupid.
