      Patrick, 41, first appeared on Sky Sports F1 for the 2021 US Grand Prix, and has become a regular sight for viewers since then.
      And now she will be a feature on Netflix’s F1 docuseries, which has been credited with boosting the sports popularity since its 2019 debut.
      Drive To Survive co-producer Tom Rogers explained the reason behind Patrick’s addition.
      Speaking to the New York Post, he said: “We attempt to focus on the stories of the sport and with Danica, she brings a great perspective of … what it’s like to drive a racing car … and the challenges of the sport.

      “The periphery to that is less important for us in the sense that she’s bringing a good contribution to the story.”
      Dubbed the “Queen of the Brickyard” Patrick is among the most successful and recognisable women in motorsport history.
      She has started eight Indianapolis 500 between 2005 and 2018 while scoring six top-10 finishes, also winning the rookie of the year award after leading for 19 laps in her debut race.

      “Her background as a driver provides a really interesting perspective that we maybe haven’t tapped into before.”
      Patrick previously dated American football star Aaron Rodgers for two years before they split in 2020.
      She has previously modelled for Sports Illustrated in 2008 and 2009 and had a cameo in the 2019 remake of Charlie’s Angels.
      Patrick has copped flak for a number of topics.
      These include “insensitive” remarks about former competitors, alleged support of former US President Donald Trump and sharing conspiracy theories about aliens living on earth.
      Comments she made while on Sky Sports during the Hungarian Grand Prix last year received particularly sharp criticism following claims from Patrick that F1 was a “masculine” sport.
      She said: “I think that the nature of the sport is masculine. It’s aggressive.
      “You have to, you know, handle the car – not only just the car because that’s skill, but the mindset that it takes to be really good is something that’s not normal in a feminine mind, a female mind.”
      She joins the likes of Will Buxton and Claire Williams on the show’s selection of analysts.

      Christian Horner & Geri Halliwell seen at dream mansion as Netflix F1 doc Drive to Survive releases amid ‘sexting’ probe

      by

      NEWLY released pictures show embattled Red Bull Racing chief Christian Horner enjoying time at home with wife Geri Halliwell.Netflix cameras captured the couple celebrating Christmas for the new season of Drive to Survive – before accusations of “inappropriate behaviour” were made against the F1 boss.

      Horner’s future of running the all-conquering team of world champion Verstappen has been thrown into doubt following the bombshell claims.
      The Red Bull Racing boss, 50, has vehemently denied all claims threatening his position.
      Horner was initially only under investigation over alleged controlling behaviour at work towards a female worker.
      But in recent days, fresh claims allege Horner also sent her “sexually suggestive” texts.
      More on Christian Horner
      For Netflix’s latest season of Drive to Survive, cameras went into Horner and Spice Girl Geri’s dream mansion in Oxfordshire in December 2022.
      The pair, who wed in 2015, can be seen relaxing in the festively decorated lounge in a preview of the show.
      Father Christmas then makes an appearance, asking their children Monty and Olivia if their dad “had been good this year”.
      Olivia replies: “Let me think about that for a minute.”
      Most read in Motorsport
      Geri then points out he had “won a championship” with Red Bull that year.
      In another scene, Horner can be seen chatting to Geri about Daniel Ricciardo after the driver failed to land a grid seat for 2023.
      Christian Horner praises Red Bull’s ‘very inclusive team culture’ in first public appearance since ‘behaviour’ probe
      The cameras also follow Horner off the race track to Red Bull Racing’s annual charity shoot, which he hosted.
      Filming was completed for the season, which premiers tomorrow, well before allegations against Horner were this month revealed – sparking a probe by Red Bull.
      Geri, 51, was reduced to tears as news broke of the scandal but has privately insisted he did nothing wrong.
      Horner publicly addressed the allegations against him for the first time at the launch of the RB20 last week.
      He said: “Inevitably there has been a distraction, but the team are very together.
      “Everybody’s focused on the season ahead, so it’s been very much business as ­normal and the support has been fantastic.
      “In situations like these, you see where the strengths are, and it’s been overwhelming the support that I’ve had from within the team.
      The bombshell claims that have rocked F1F1 was rocked earlier this month by the sudden news that the sport’s longest-standing team principal had been placed under investigation by Red Bull’s Austria-based parent company.
      This was thought to be over a “dossier of incriminating material” regarding “inappropriate and controlling behaviour” towards one female, The Telegraph reported.
      Red Bull’s Austrian parent company flew an independent lawyer to the UK to question the multi-millionaire race ace and his accuser.
      The former racing driver, who runs world champion Max Verstappen’s all-conquering Red Bull team, endured an eight-hour grilling over the claims last week.
      Most recently however, more allegations have come out as the De Telegraaf reported that Horner allegedly sent sex messages to his employee “over an extended period of time”.
      Messages were said to have been saved and presented as evidence to the external ­barrister running the inquiry after the woman made a complaint last December.
      Mr Horner categorically denied the new allegations and is thought to be taking legal action against De Telegraaf.
      An F1 source told The Sun last week that “Christian has not been sacked or asked to resign and he is not going to resign”.
      The investigation raises the question of who could take over the helm of the all-conquering racing team of world champion Max Verstappen.
      His wife Geri Halliwell is also said to be “terrified her life will unravel” amid Horner’s “inappropriate behaviour” probe.
      The ex-Spice Girl, who was “in floods of tears” when the Red Bull boss was hit with the bombshell allegations, fears the drama will drag on for years, a source has claimed. 
      But Geri, 51, is understood to be standing by her husband.
      She has told pals: “Christian has done nothing wrong.”
      Horner has overseen a huge period of success for the racing team – winning multiple F1 championships with Sebastian Vettel and Verstappen.
      Red Bull has won seven Formula One world drivers’ championships and six world ­constructors’ titles under Horner’s leadership.
      Last season, the team won 21 of the 22 races on the global F1 tour, and Verstappen, 26, won the drivers’ crown.
      Horner was awarded a CBE for services to motorsport in the 2024 New Year’s Honours List.

      “There have been some allegations made, which I fully deny, so that the investigation is very much going on in the background whilst preparing for the season ahead, and hopefully it will be concluded in the near future.”
      Ford were said to have put pressure on their future partners at Red Bull Racing to investigate the outcome “seriously but quickly”.
      Reports say this could mean Horner could find out his fate much sooner than originally expected.
      Horner had hoped the investigation would be resolved before the team this week flew to Bahrain for pre-season testing.
      He was yesterday pictured looking carefree as he smiled and chatted with his team in the Middle East country.
      Horner arrived in the Gulf kingdom overnight on Wednesday to watch star driver Max Verstappen test the RB20 for the first time on an F1 track.

      Liverpool have since announced that it is filming a fly-on-the-wall series that will be released at the end of the season.
      The documentary will hope to showcase a successful end to Klopp’s reign as manager.

      The Daily Mail have claimed that Disney+ are in “advanced talks” over buying the rights to the documentary.
      The report adds that the deal could see Liverpool bank £10million from its sale.
      It was also suggested that Amazon rejected the chance to purchase the rights due to the limited access to the dressing room.
      This is said to be the same reason why Netflix is having reservations.
