She left Indycar and Formula E with results not much better than she is achieving now?

Given she comes form an international pedigree, I think her sights on competitiveness are set a little higher than whatever the likes of Cam Waters, SVG, Whincup or Winterbottom were happy with for season one.

They hyped her signing prior to the start of the year, rookie season or not, the casual fan (who they are targeting to appeal to) is only interested in results.
