In an episode of In Depth with Graham Bensinger, as well as shedding light on her various injuries, Vonn claims that she was forced to reject the offer of an F1 seat at Red Bull.
Interviewed while driving Bensinger, when asked if she has ever driven a racing car, Vonn reveals: 'Yeh in Spielberg, in Austria, on a Formula One track.
'I loved it,' she says of driving a Formula Renault 3.5 on the track in 2016 (pictured), 'but I had a tendency to go a little too fast in the corners.
'I thought, 'mmm, I shouldn't mess this car up, because it's several million dollars,' she laughs.
'I almost.. I was thinking about switching.. to go into Formula One,' she reveals.
'What do you mean?' asks Bensinger.
'Actually try to be a racer.. a driver,' she replies. 'I couldn't,' she continues, 'because they wanted me to commit to three years, and like, you can't get pregnant, you can't do anything. I thought, 'mmm I don't know if I really want to do that',' she tells Bensinger who appears incredulous that she was told she couldn't get pregnant.
'They said, you have to fully commit,' she says, 'and I said why do I have to fully commit, and I'm like, 'okay, I guess I'm not doing that,' she laughs. 'But that was definitely going to be, something that would be very exciting for me, personally. I would love to do that. Bonus casino sign up.
'What team would it have been with?' asks Bensinger.
'With Red Bull,' she replies. 'And they're like, 'if you don't make it in Formula One you can always do NASCAR'.
'The amount of money Formula One has,' she continues. 'I mean, I think probably the salary of one racer is probably the total amount of money that Ski racing has for their annual budget. As a sport, I guess Lewis (Hamilton) makes way more money than all of Ski racing.'
