Danica Patrick Turns Heads Over This ‘Controversial’ Outfit At F1 Race
Danica Patrick stole attention during Miami Grand Prix coverage—but not for her racing commentary. The former NASCAR star, now a Sky Sports F1 analyst, arrived in a controversial white one-shoulder mini dress and sneakers, sparking instant online backlash.
Social media erupted with comparisons mocking her outfit choice. Critics likened the minimalist dress to a “toga,” “bath towel,” and even a “bed sheet,” with one user joking, “Did she confuse the racetrack for a pool party?”
Others contrasted her casual look with her co-presenters’ professional attire. “The men looked ready to call the race,” one comment read. “Danica looked ready for a spa day.” The debate overshadowed much of the pre-race discussion.
The criticism took a political turn as well, referencing Patrick’s vocal support for Donald Trump. One post sneered, “Is this MAGA fashion or just bad judgment?”—highlighting her divisive public image.
Despite backing Trump’s 2024 campaign, Patrick was notably missing from his Mar-a-Lago victory party. She later posted a photo sitting on the floor with friends, captioning it, “Where was our invite?”—a clear jab at the snub.
Her F1 commentary has always split fans, and this fashion controversy only fueled the debate over her role in the sport’s coverage. While some appreciate her fresh perspective, others question her expertise.
Meanwhile, McLaren dominated the race with Oscar Piastri winning and Lando Norris securing second. But for many, the weekend’s real drama unfolded off-track—in Danica Patrick’s wardrobe choice and the fiery online reaction it ignited.
