Ken Anderson, one of the principals behind the prospective Formula 1 team USF1, has confirmed interest in signing Danica Patrick.
Patrick, the 26-year-old female star of America's open wheeler series IndyCar, is "great", Anderson said in an interview with the Associated Press.
"She gets a lot of press," he added. "(Indianapolis Motor Speedway president) Tony George would probably be pretty mad with me if I took her out of the IRL but we'll see.
"I don't know if it's something she wants to do. We'd certainly love to test her and go from there."
The American news agency also revealed more details about USF1's 2010 plans, to be officially launched next week.
The annual budget, for example, will be around 50m euros, there will be at least 100 staff, and American names Scott Speed, Conor Daly and Josef Newgarden were mentioned as other candidates for a seat.
Anderson also confirmed reports that USF1 is considering setting up a European base at the Spanish headquarters of team Epilson Euskadi.
