WATCH: Lindsey Vonn races upcoming sprinter Erriyon Knighton during the Miami Grand Prix as a part of the Redbull racing team

Lindsey Vonn was recently seen facing Erriyon Knighton in F1 racing at Redbull ahead of the F1 Miami Grand Prix. The 2010 Olympic gold medalist in the downhill event competed against the 2023 World Championships medalist.

The 2024 Miami Grand Prix qualifying round was held on May 5 with the final race being held at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida, United States.

The 34-year-old Vonn embraced the thrill of the F1 track as she took the wheel and confidently declared,

"I got the need, the need for speed," Vonn said.

Further, she humorously remarked about challenging Knighton to keep up with her pace, unaware of the significant age difference between them.

"Let's see if this little youngster can keep up with me. I said it as a joke and he actually is half my age," she added.

As the race commenced, both athletes were seen cruising through the track until unexpectedly at a turn, the 20-year-old's car stalled and spun around in the grass, bringing his race to an early end.

Lindsey Vonn celebrated her victory over Knighton while extending her best wishes to him for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"I was like waiting for him to show up in my rearview mirror and then it's like red flag," she said. "He was like spinned around in the grass. He was okay. So that's all that matters. I mean he lost. technically that's an automatic win for me."

"You know it was a good effort. Next time. I won today and you'll win in Paris. Deal?"
