Before settling with Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi as race drivers for the upcoming race season, Virgin Racing's Richard Branson was interested in a certain American female driver, Danica Patrick. "I would have loved to have had a looker like Danica drive. She is not only good and quick, she’s a stunner. I believe there is room for women drivers in F1," he told Englands 'The Daily Star'.
