Danica Patrick raced in IndyCar in the 2000s before making a move to NASCAR and eventually retiring from professional racing after the 2016 season. Since then, the 43-year-old has taken up a part-time gig with Sky F1 as one of the hosts.

During the 2025 US GP, Carlos Sainz and Kimi Antonelli came together on Lap 7 of the race. The Williams driver tried making a move on the inside into Turn 17, one similar to his move on Oliver Bearman, but Antonelli closed the door. As Sainz locked up his tires, he went straight into the Italian driver, spinning the Mercedes around, resulting in a retirement for the Williams driver.
