Danica Patrick Impresses With Tennis Video at 44
Danica Patrick has more free time on her hands right now. The 44-year-old racing broadcaster will not be part of SkySports' coverage of Formula 1 in 2026.
"From my first Sky Sports F1 race in Austin to my last 5 years later… I had such a blast! The Sky team was so much fun (thank you all), I saw so many amazing new race tracks and cities, and got to be part of a huge boom in F1!" Patrick shared.
"I called after the last race in 2025 and said it was time for me to move on and I was so grateful for the opportunity and experience I was given!
"….and now due to my deep exposure to F1, I will be glued to my TV for the season starting this weekend, like every other fan!"
Patrick, who lives in Arizona, is filling up her free time with more sports. She's been taking up tennis - and she's pretty good at it.
Patrick, who has only been playing tennis for a couple of years, showed off some impressive form in a new video.
"Amazing day on court with my friend 🎾," her hitting partner shared.
Patrick has been getting into golf, too
It's been a work in progress for Patrick on the golf course, though.
"Then I forgot how to hit my driver to start the year off... Until about 10 days ago. I remembered just as mysteriously as I forgot," Patrick said in a previous social media post.
"Golf is a funny game... And mostly played by those who just love to be hard on themselves. A game you will never master and repeatedly wonder - why am I doing this to myself?!"
It's good to see Patrick still getting after it sports-wise, years after retiring from competitive racing in 2018.
