Danica Patrick
Interview - FHM 2005

Formula race-car driver Danica Patrick is the hottest thing on wheels since Roller Girl.

It's not easy being Dan Wheldon. He's the poor bastard who won the Indy 500 this year, but was lost in the sea of media hype that surrounded his competitor, Danica Patrick. And with good reason: Dan, if you hadn't noticed, Danica is hotter than a 400 horsepower engine at 9500 RPM. Oh, and she can drive one hell of an automobile.

That's why Danica's foes are going to have to get used to smaller winners' circles—that is, if they're in them at all. After dabbling with the lead in the Indy 500, Danica ended up rocking an impressive 4th place finish—not too bad for any rookie in the Indy Racing Series, much less the only girl.

Danica now stands at 9th place overall in Indy Racing standings, and she's only going to get better. Of course, FHM knows just how perfect this 23 year old already is. We think you'll agree.

“I’m confident and I’m dominant,” says the Roscoe, IL, native, who drives a 400-horsepower Argent Toyota Swift. “I’m aggressive—both on and off the track. I like to be in charge.”

Granted, you have to be aggressive on the track, but why be that way off of it?
To maintain that level, you can’t be shy and have a weak handshake. Your overall opinion of me would go down if you thought I couldn’t hold my own off the track.

Do you think you scare men off?
I hope that’s what it is.

Wouldn’t it be just as easy to treat them sweet and kind?
No, I need to kick their asses. I need to beat them, belittle them and make them feel small. Trying to run them off the road at 170 mph isn’t sweet and kind.

What’s the sexiest part about you?
You tell me.

The red leather boots you’re wearing for the FHM photo shoot aren’t bad. What goes on under that flame-retardant suit?
I wear a fireproof shirt and underwear. So, if you pulled my suit down. . .

Please continue.
If you pulled my suit down, it’s regular underwear, like boys’ underwear. Definitely not a thong. And it’s not flame retardant.

Are you a road-rage driver on the regular streets of Columbus, OH, where you live now?
Yes, and everybody in town knows it. I use my horn more in one day than most people do in their whole lives. If I can make people know they’ve done something wrong on the road, then I’ve helped them. And they won’t be dumb again—they won’t go 65 in the left lane. Some people give to charity, I run ’em off the road.

Are there times of the month when you are a more aggressive or angry driver?
Not that I’ve noticed. It’s just a different mindset. I do everything in my power to not overdrive.

You’ve been quoted as saying you like to sweat.
It makes you feel like you’ve really done something. I know the way you’re going to write that: “Sweating makes her feel like she’s done something,” wink, wink. Whatever, that’s cool.

You got some publicity when you led fellow racer Tommy Kendall around the garage by a leash and collar.
His idea. Imagine that.

Who’s the dream guy you’d like to return the favor to?
Enrique Iglesias. I used to be a Leonardo DiCaprio fan, but he’s let himself go. He doesn’t look so great lately. Enrique is a Latin sex bomb.

So which is the better scenario: uninhibited, incomparable sex with the man of your dreams, or winning the Indy 500?
Winning the Indy 500. The recognition is far greater.
