The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix is just a few minutes away, and ahead of the marquee event, the celebrities have started showing in the F1 paddock. While several Hollywood names are attending the event, sporting legend Usain Bolt is also in the paddock as Alfa Romeo’s special guest.
Usain Bolt has been in the F1 paddock for pretty much the whole weekend and has been enjoying the magnificent show put on by the drivers, teams, and everyone involved with the sport. Ahead of the race, Bolt has been spotted helping the Hinwii-based Alfa Romeo team with their pit stop practice.

The Jamaican has a well-known reputation for running at a blistering pace, but in the Las Vegas paddock, he has been showcasing how fast he is with his hands. From the video, it can be seen how quickly Bolt could do his bit in removing the front left on the C43.

Usain Bolt has been following the pinnacle of motor racing for a long time and yesterday, he even admitted to being a huge Sir Lewis Hamilton fan. He loves attending F1 events whenever he has the time, and seeing F1 cars going around Las Vegas is something he described as nothing short of ‘beautiful’.
Usain Bolt acknowledges the might of Max Verstappen in F1
While Lewis Hamilton yesterday made it known that he is a big fan of the former 7-time Formula 1 world champion, he has also indicated that he is highly impressed with what Max Verstappen has been able to do in his career so far. Verstappen has won the F1 title three times since 2021.

While talking about Verstappen, he told Sky Sports F1, “Max Verstappen is doing wonderful. He’s really coming out and showing the world.” Looking at the reaction of Bolt, it is quite clear that he is in awe of what the 26-year-old has been able to do in the recent years of the pinnacle of motor racing.

Max Verstappen has been the kingpin in F1 for some time, but during the upcoming Las Vegas GP, his work is cut out for him. He is starting the 50-lap race from second place and has an incredibly fast Charles Leclerc starting ahead of him. Considering this, it would be fascinating to see how Verstappen would approach the race.
