The Circuit of America’s race was broadcast live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports and was the first of the six races left to the end of the season. Danica Patrick was thrilled to be able to comment on the competition between the two as they raced to get closer to the title.

Danica Patrick Has Set Many Records and Broken Many Barriers In Her Career
Danica Patrick has been in many races during her career and has overcome many challenges. She broke many barriers and records and became a revered driver. First, she made her name in IndyCar and became the first woman to lead, and did it on her Indianapolis 500 debut in 2005. She then secured a top-five finish at the Brickyard. Patrick continued to shine and some three years later won the Indy Japan 300. Today, she is still the only female driver who has claimed victory in an IndyCar race.
In 2013, Patrick switched to the other major motorsport series in America – NASCAR. There, she set more records before stopping her full-time racing career in 2017. She stopped racing altogether the year after that. Certainly, she was a welcome addition to the presentation and punditry team for the United States Grand Prix, alongside Martin Brundle and Jenson Button.
