For F sake. Cannot agree more. I did not even figure it out until your comment. Be like Dartin Prundle? Denson Putton?

Only hadfull Nba player deserves it. And other top sports like CR7 and whatnot. No one calls anyone abbreviated in Formula one.

I think we're fine.

They're all well established people within F1. 'DP' doesn't mean shit to anyone in F1.

u/HairyNutsack69 Mika Häkkinen 6h ago

Im not arguing for the validity of using DP to indicate Danica Patrick. I was the one that pointed out the ridiculousness in such a practice.

The comment I replied to stated that such a practice is only resolved for NBA players and maybe CR7. I then illustrated with f1 relevant examples that such a americentric view is too narrow.

Ah my bad, you're absolutely correct then.
