Lindsey Vonn was always fascinated by speed. She discovered a new passion when she drove on a Formula One track in Austria.

During an interview with Olympics.com, she compared her experience driving at 130 mph in Munich to that of a race track, which caused the famous Alpine skier to reconsider her career choices. Lindsey Vonn revealed that she considered switching occupations to become a Formula One driver.

"On the racing track, we went much faster. I had a tendency to go a little too fast on the corners and I would spin out," she said.
“I was thinking about switching to Formula One and trying to be a driver, but I couldn’t because they wanted me to fully commit to three years and they were like, ‘You can’t get pregnant and you can’t do anything’, and I’m like, ‘I don’t know if I really want to do that’. That would have been something that was very exciting for me and the person I am. I would love to do that," she added.

Despite retiring from professional Alpine skiing, Vonn remains glued to multiple sports and shares great enthusiasm about all of them alike.
