American skiing’s golden girl Lindsey Vonn's model looks have often gained her more spotlight than her speed on two skis back in her home country but the American's latest feat may change all that.

Vonn drove Formula Renault 3.5 at Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria on June 14, 2016.

She tweeted, “Yesterday was super casual...at the @redbullring driving a Renault 3.5 500hp race car. Gotta get my speed fix!”

Red Bull’s Formula One driver Max Verstappen was quick to respond on twitter, "Lindsey Vonn good looking helmet there! Did Red Bull racing sign you up for some future test work?”
