"I was on the limit. We nearly crashed several times. I wasn't looking where I was going. Don't do that at home. He may be the fastest dude in the world, but I thought I would scare him. He had to retire before risking doing that with me, but it's an honour to have him here," Hamilton, driving a light green Mercedes AMG car, said later.
Meanwhile, Bolt was still rattling after the two-lap ride. "I genuinely was not ready for that. That was really stressful. He took
the traction control off. I thought I was going to die," said the eight-time Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter.
After the race, which Hamilton won, Bolt posed with podium finishers -- Hamilton and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen -- and posted the above pictures on his social media accounts.
