It looks like the race-car driver trailblazer may no longer be a major part of Formula 1’s most prominent coverage team, after also losing her Netflix gig.

Danica Patrick has certainly been active on social media in the past 24 hours.

But as fans of F1 realized, it’s not as an analyst for Sky Sports for the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, the most prominent on-air coverage team for Formula 1 that’s simulcast on ESPN (in the final year of the deal) in the United States.

The 42-year-old 2008 IndyCar Japan 300 winner, the only IndyCar Series female champion, posted on her Instagram Stories working out at the gym, a staple of hers, and having a solo dinner after 18 holes for the newfound passion, golf, all while hanging out at her home in Phoenix, Arizona.

Patrick is still supposedly part of the Sky Sports F1 team, but her role seems to have been scaled back significantly after being part of their international coverage last season, including the finale in Abu Dhabi.

Plus another female driver, current British driver Jamie Chadwick, has been added into the mix.

To add insult to injury, Patrick is also not a part of Season 7 of Netflix’s “Drive to Survive,” which is the show that made F1 a phenomenon stateside.

Patrick hasn’t spoken publicly about it yet, but her golf game is keeping her occupied.
