Anyway, I know the possible yellow colour scheme has been hinted at but I think Gunther Steiner acidently confirmed it in a bit for autosport:
"The cars will not just be yellow Ferraris,"

Let's be realistic, Danica is not jumping into an F1 car anytime soon, if ever. However from a PR point of view I think it would be a benefit to the team if she were to be involved in some capacity. Of course it would also depend upon her own desires for her career. She does have significant open wheel experience and has won at least one race in the Indy Car series, as well as taken pole position for the Daytona 500 (obviously not open wheel, but an accomplishment in its own right).
As lucerative as it may be, she may be tired of being perceived as a piece of eye candy. Is she interested in pursuing a role in team management? Might she accept a position that allows her to help develop the car, while at the same time learn the inner workings of project management in F1? Perhaps she wants to get seat time in a simulator and in test or practice sessions just to see for herself of she has the chops?
Of course these questions are the result of my own wild speculation. I do believe it would be a benefit to team Haas if Danica Patrick is involved in some capacity.
