Usain Bolt will be the official starter for Sunday’s US Grand Prix.
The world’s fastest man will give the signal for the world’s fastest drivers to start their formation lap in Austin, Sky Sports reported.
The eight-time Olympic champion, who retired from athletics following the London 2017 World Athletics Championships, is also set to be driven around the Circuit of the Americas by championship leader Lewis Hamilton in the build-up to the Grand Prix.
Bolt is one of a number of glamour names F1’s American owners Liberty Media are using over the weekend for their first home grand prix.
