Danica Patrick won the 2008 Indy Japan 300. It’s the only time a woman has won an IndyCar Series race. She was also the rookie of the year for the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and the 2005 IndyCar Series as a whole.
We’ve heard about a couple of other cars that Patrick has owned – and her stint at driver’s school – but here’s yet another that she has driven. She apparently feels most comfortable in her 2012 Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG, which is certainly more practical than her Lamborghini Gallardo.
Vettel is a Crossover Cruiser
If you follow Formula One at all, you probably recognize the name, Sebastian Vettel. He's won the Formula One World Championship four times and currently races for Scuderia Ferrari. We wonder who we will sign with after this contract is over.
His skills on the track are legendary — he's earned himself plenty of records for being the youngest driver to do one thing or another, and there are only two more drivers who won more races than him in all Formula One history. When he isn't on the track, he enjoys driving an Infiniti FX50, which blends size and performance.
Another Cool Car for this Out-of-Towner
When Daniel Suarez needs to go get the groceries, he doesn't take his treasured Volkswagen. Instead, he jumps into his Toyota Camry on his way to his nine to five or while running errands.
Few cars beat a Camry for staying safe and working well while on the road. Suarez has plenty of cars to love, but he also drives a Ford Mustang when he has a race to win. He's a Stewart-Haas racer, and he keeps their tradition going with incredible skills and legendary love of cars classic and modern.
Only the Best for the Best
Statistically, Michael Schumacher is the greatest Formula One driver in the history of the sport and is respected by fans and fellow drivers. You've already heard about the Ferrari he keeps in his garage, but he also hops into a little Fiat Croma when he doesn't want to stand out.
The Croma is certainly less ostentatious, with only a 1.9-liter engine, and can achieve 150 horsepower. It's a pretty standard car, and we wouldn't be surprised if you've seen plenty of them when you're on your commute. Maybe not as many as Ford, but some.
Joey Logano's Second Appearance Speaks of His Love for Rat Rods
Logano really has a love of old cars. Going even further back in time than his Econoline Van is his 1939 GMC pickup, which he lovingly calls a Rat Rod. While the term means some specific things among car enthusiasts, it might not actually fit the bill here.
Logano has probably done plenty of work to keep the engine running, but he's let the exterior rust and fade, which adds plenty of stories and character about a cool car. It even has a unique decal on the sides: “Logano Fuel and Service.”
