Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick has taken up a head-turning new hobby which is garnering attention as she takes up another exercise craze.
The 43-year-old, who routinely makes appearances on Sky Sports F1 coverage of races in the United States, posted multiple videos on her Instagram story about taking an 'adult dancing' class.
These videos show Patrick in heels, a tight dress, and knee pads whipping her hair around in a red-lit room.
Patrick captioned the first video, saying 'so few women are brave enough to take an adult dance class... but it's a blast! Give it a try.'
In the second video, she wrote in part, 'I may need some physical therapy after all the hair whipping.'
Patrick has been in the news in recent years less and less for her driving ability and commentary, but more for her outspoken political views.

Patrick says she took an 'adult dancing' class and posted multiple photos of her routine in a tight dress and heels. She joked she'd need 'physical therapy' for whipping her hair so much.
The supporter of President Trump posted a tribute to MAGA activist Charlie Kirk on Instagram the day after his assassination, saying that she 'got into politics because of @charliekirk1776'.
She would go on to campaign for Trump in his re-election bid in 2024.
In addition to posting in honor of Kirk, Patrick publicly celebrated ABC's decision to suspend comedian Jimmy Kimmel after his remarks about the identity of Kirk's assassin.
Earlier this month, Patrick expressed her disappointment that Puerto Rican rap star Bad Bunny would be the performer for the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
'Oh fun,' Patrick wrote on X. 'No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America's highest rated television events of the year … not just for sports.'
Speaking on Steve Bannon's 'War Room' podcast, Patrick re-affirmed her stance, but then said the rapper wasn't 'necessarily born in America' despite Puerto Rico's status as a US territory.
'The Super Bowl is the most highly-watched show that we have on television in the whole year. 127million people are estimated to watch it,' she said.
Patrick continued, 'I don't have any problem with someone performing at halftime that is not from the United States, although Bad Bunny is technically a citizen because he was born in Puerto Rico. He wasn't necessarily born in America.
'I don't care where you're actually born. What I care about is that I can sing along to the music. His music is almost nothing in English.'
