Three-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton took former sprinter Usain Bolt for a spin on Sunday — literally.
Ahead of the United States Grand Prix, Hamilton showed Bolt how to do donuts in a bright green Mercedes AMG GTR — a car which has a retail price of $200,000 (£151.800).

After showing Bolt how to do a “donut,” Hamilton took the former eight-time Olympic gold medalist for a lap around the Circuit of the Americas race track in Austin, Texas.
According to Sky Sports, Hamilton said he wanted to “scare [Bolt] to death.”
Bolt said: “I wasn’t ready for that… [it] was a little bit scary. I was screaming a little bit.”

Hamilton started the United States Grand Prix from pole position and maintained his advantage to finish 10.143 seconds ahead of his nearest rival, Sebastian Vettel.
When Bolt interviewed Hamilton after the race, he said: “What a beautiful day. I love this track and I think it is now my favourite.”
Hamilton’s victory means that he will win a fourth Formula 1 world title providing he finishes in the top five at the next Grand Prix in Mexico City on October 29.
