Danica. Honda. Formula One.

It seems a proper match. Something like an arranged marriage, bound to happen, fate and destiny drawing the two together. Danica Patrick, IRL star and the only female to accomplish an IndyCar victory, has been discussing the prospects of a test drive in Honda's Formula One. Nothing on the books as of yet, with Honda executives only confirming the possibility of Danica being allowed a bit of seat time. With a victory at the IndyCar Japan 300, in Motegi, Honda is now offering Danica a chance to test drive the current Formula One car being campaigned by Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button. No surprise here, as Honda supplies engines for every class in the Indy Racing League (including Danica's) and had made a similar offer in 2005, one which Danica turned down after serious contemplation. With a focus on winning the IRL Championship, Danica may turn this offer down as well, but whatever the outcome, here recent performances are sure to subdue the noise from Danica doubters. But can she make the transition to a Formula One car? Here is a comparison of cars, you decide for yourself: FORMULA ONE: N/A 2.4 liter V8, 19,000 rpm, 750 horsepower, minimum weight of 1,323 lbs, top speed - 225 mph // INDY CAR: N/A 3.5 liter V8, 10,300 rpm 650 horsepower, minimum weight of 1,565, top speed - 230 mph
