...and we all know that F1 was never going to happen, so no need for derogatory hot takes . Red Bull was one of her sponsors back when she was a World Cup skier, so she got a chance to jump into a Formula Renault 3.5 at the Red Bull Ring (unable to locate anything from when it happened atm).
Apparently, she impressed enough with an open wheel car that “ something” could have been option if she chose to. Obviously, that’s not the path she chose.
Then again with the power of Xenu flowing through his veins, Tom Cruise manhandled a Red Bull Renault around Willow Springs.

She’s also pretty tall for an F1 driver (5' 10"), particularly one who wouldn’t have started driving until her 20s, let alone a woman trying to enter Bernie Ecclestone’s Formula 1.
But extremely athletic person with perfect balance equals a good racing driver. Why driver development academies aren’t out recruiting elite gymnasts, I don’t know.

An addendum to this: Sebastien Loeb was a gymnast before becoming a racing driver at age 21.

Tom cruise drives with a full send it mentality. He knows not of a thing called limits, where an f1 car is fully beyond his so a safer test... He raced with Paul newman in the scca and it was briefly meaning ”see cruise crash again”. Fast, but no restraint, following cats a class higher at the same speeds into a corner then into the gravel.

That does not surprise me after seeing him vault over some barricades at a World Rallycross race I was at a few years ago in Trois Rivere. When you gotta poop, you gotta poop. But then you need to be back in your car for the starting line. Hustled and jumped. Both ways.

I’ve driven the road she’s talking about south of Munich on the way to Salz burg. Instead of having the E350 I reserved, they fucking well gave me a Renault shitbox. Fuck, I’m still pissed about that...
