Danica Patrick: American Haas unlikely to sign US driver
The American Haas team have effectively ruled out signing US female racer Danica Patrick for their debut Formula 1 season next year.
Patrick, 33, has been linked with the team, who are building up to an entry in 2016.
But team principal Gunther Steiner said Patrick, who has won an IndyCar race, was "happy" racing in the American Nascar stock-car racing series.
"This would be a gamble and I don't know if she is ready," Steiner said.
Patrick would in any case not meet the qualifying criteria to earn an F1 driver's 'super licence'.
