Danica Patrick<\/a> has been brutally mocked online after leaving fellow Formula One pundit Jenson Button bemused at the Austin Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The ex-NASCAR driver – who works as an F1 analyst for British TV network Sky Sports – was asked by presenter\u00a0Simon Lazenby for her thoughts on a collision between two drivers which forced one of to retire from the race after seven laps.<\/p>\n

And her unusual assessment of the crash drew a viral reaction out of former F1 champion Button.<\/p>\n

‘Not the best spot to go, you know, like when you make a move in an unusual place, then you get unusual results,’ Patrick said as a confused Button turned to stare at the camera. ‘Kind of like a turn one sprint, right? You make an unusual move and get unusual results. So I don\u2019t know’.<\/p>\n

Fans couldn’t resist trolling the MAGA commentator on TikTok<\/a>, while some even called for her to be axed by Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

‘Jenson just looks at the camera like \u201cI\u2019m sorry you have to listen to this\u201d can\u2019t imagine what he has to go through stood there,’ one user wrote.<\/p>\n

Another put: ‘like why did she need to add anything, he said it perfectly and then she made no sense and added nothing’.<\/p>\n

‘She talks for takings sake. She knew it was nonsense as she repeated herself,’ said a third.<\/p>\n

A fourth commented: ‘Why do Sky keep her on??’<\/p>\n

While a fifth simply asked: ‘how is she still on tv’.<\/p>\n

As well as working for Sky, Patrick has become a political commentator over the past year after\u00a0campaigning for Donald Trump in the run-up to last year’s presidential election.<\/p>\n

Last week the 43-year-old, who recently claimed Trump will go down as the greatest American president ever, enjoyed a star-studded dinner in Washington DC, where she joined a circle of MAGA favorites for a relaxed night in the capital.<\/p>\n

She took to Instagram to share pictures from her night out with the likes of Lara Trump, Tulsi Gabbard , Meghan McCain, Jessica Kraus and Dakota Meyer.<\/p>\n
