Former IndyCar and NASCAR star turned commentator Danica Patrick has reportedly delivered a scathing critique of Lewis Hamilton following a controversial overtake during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Patrick, known for her forthright opinions, allegedly angrily lashed out, stating that Hamilton’s move was “not worthy” and directly blaming him for what she deemed an “illegal overtake” during the race.

While the exact moment and the specifics of Hamilton’s maneuver that drew Patrick’s ire remain under scrutiny, her strong condemnation suggests a clear disagreement with the legality or the racing etiquette displayed by the seven-time world champion.

Patrick’s comments, reportedly made during a post-race analysis or broadcast, are likely to fuel further debate among fans and pundits regarding the fairness of the overtake and the stewards’ potential involvement.

Patrick’s strong stance against Hamilton’s move adds another layer of intrigue to the already intense discussions surrounding the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. As a former professional racer herself, her opinion carries weight with many fans, and her “illegal overtake” accusation could put pressure on the FIA to review the incident, even if no penalty was initially assessed during the race.

The Formula 1 community is now awaiting further clarification on the specific overtake in question and any potential response from Lewis Hamilton or the Ferrari team to Patrick’s forceful criticism. This incident highlights the subjective nature of racing incidents and the passionate opinions they often elicit from both fans and fellow competitors, even those who are now in a commentary role. The controversy surrounding Hamilton’s move is likely to continue to be a talking point long after the checkered flag has fallen in Imola.
