When are American drivers (or non-Americans with experience racing solely in an American series) going to get it through their F1 bedazzled heads that unless you spend at least 2 or 3 years racing in a European or Japanese junior formula and win or place second in that championship you have no business testing an F1 car. Getting an F1 test these days isn't about talent these days anyway. It's a source of revenue for teams who need the money. I have a feeling Honda is feeling the pinch for all the years of mediocre results. Paying Barrichello and Button probably doesnt leave too much money in the budget for the risk-taking engineering it takes to run with the big dogs.
Best of luck to Danica but she's better off staying in the good ole USA where her fan base can support her with regular race attendance.
