Former alpine skier Lindsey Vonn graced the Miami Grand Prix racetrack to get an F1 experience with the Red Bull Racing team. After the conclusion, she stressed how much she loves fast cars and the wind in her hair.

In an episode of In Depth with Graham Bensinger from 2020, Lindsey Vonn expressed that she wished to pursue a career in F1. Moreover, she also considered NASCAR as a career option while making strides in her alpine skiing profession.

Her love for speed and camaraderie with Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton got her to race on the track in South Florida. Other celebrity athletes such as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were also present in the adrenaline-fuelled event. However, Lindsey Vonn got a chance to sit behind the wheel of an F4 car.

The skier took to her Instagram handle to post a couple of photos. The caption read:

"Fast cars and the wind in my hair… it’s my vibe!"

In an all-white attire paired with a pink cap, Lindsey Vonn smiled for the camera with Red Bull in her hand. Undoubtedly, she was supporting the Red Bull Racing team and Max Verstappen, who has been unstoppable since Miami GP's inception. However, he was outclassed this time by Mclaren's Lando Morris.
