As Formula 1 came to the Las Vegas Strip, scheduled from Nov 16-18, fans are keeping close tabs on the races and what’s happening in the backdrop. Alpine skiing legend Lindsey Vonn posed for the media recently during this most anticipated race in recent years. Vonn’s association with F1 is not a newfound affair. She is known to have rejected the F1 offer once. It was because she was unwilling to commit to not getting pregnant for three years, which was a clause under the F1 terms and conditions. Hence, her presence during the Las Vegas Strip was a sheer delight to the fans.
As the winner of four women’s World Cup overall championships joined the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, there were more for the fans. She was pictured there posing with British racing legend, Sir Jackie Stewart, with three world championships and 27 races. Vonn took to social media to post the pictures with Sir Stweart, leaving fans awestruck. Alongside, she also reminded fans about a longstanding brand partnership.
