American former Indycar and NASCAR driver Danica Patrick gives her thoughts on the 2021 title-battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
This weekend Danica Patrick will be joining the Sky F1 broadcast team for the 2021 United States Grand Prix.
The American racing star says she finds the current close championship fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen more interesting than those of recent years.
“I think it’s cool, and it’s going to make me more interested to watch more of [the races], because there’s something to watch,” Patrick wrote in her United States GP preview.
“If I’m encapsulating the series – F1, IndyCar and NASCAR, let’s say, F1 it seems like it’s the manufacturers [who] are what matters and everybody just kind of falls into line in the race.
“And then in IndyCar it can be a little bit more mixed up, maybe there’s a little bit more passing and then NASCAR there’s even more.

“I love the fact that it’s not so straightforward this year, that you’ve got two teams going at it, which is cool because you don’t have to worry about any kind of team orders, any kind of c***, you’re just going to get the true duo happening.”
Patrick especially loves the title-fight dynamic between Lewis and Max.
“I think it makes it really interesting and I love that Max is this young driver,” she explained.
“He’s been around for a few years, for sure, but he’s still the young driver and Lewis is the guy going for the official GOAT medal of most wins, most poles and most championships this year, so I’m sure he really wants to win his eighth.
“Then you have got someone who’s just dying to make that not happen for him and he’s young and hungry. It’s very interesting to watch,” Patrick concluded.
