INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indy Racing League driver Danica Patrick is upset at Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone and confused by his comments likening women to "domestic appliances."

Patrick received a telephone call from Ecclestone last week during which he congratulated the IRL rookie for her performance at the Indianapolis 500, but also reiterated remarks he had made during an interview at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the United States Grand Prix was being held.

Among the comments Ecclestone made in the interview and to Patrick was that "women should be all dressed in white like all other domestic appliances."

Well, at least AP reported it---that means it causes concern. That's better than it being ignored.

I gotta hand it to her, I would have been alot less calm.

But she did have the REAL right attitude:

"(it) doesn't really matter because I'm racing in the Indy Racing League."
