Bernie in sexist shocker - 23 June 2005
Female Indy 500 racer Danica Patrick has reacted with surprise to F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's apparently sexist remark.

Just when it seemed F1 could sink no lower in the eyes of America, a quote - uttered prior to Sunday's six car disaster - caught the press' interest.



Quirky Bernie, 74, had jokingly claimed that women should 'dress in white, like all the other domestic appliances.'

Surprisingly, he even repeated the odd claim to Ms. Patrick, 23, in a private phone call.

'I can't believe he would say that directly to me,' Danica - who finished fourth in the 2005 Indy 500 - told reporters.

'Maybe that's his real feeling.

'It doesn't really matter because I'm in the Indy Racing League.'
