F1: No Formula 1 test for Danica Patrick

Early June, shortly after her first IndyCar victory at Motegi, Japan a news circulated that Danica Patrick would make her Formula 1 test debut for the Honda team. The reality is quite different today.

It was reported in June that the 26-year-old Patrick was likely to climb aboard the RA108 challenger in November at the Spanish winter test circuits Barcelona or Jerez.

Honda F1 Team boss Nick Fry declared: "What we actually said was that if Danica wants to have a drive in our car at the end of the season, we'd be very open to the idea".

Strangely, a spoke person from the Honda Formula 1 team told us today that the test would not happen.

"We have no current plans to test Danica Patrick," she said.

So, what happened?
