In a throwback video, the fastest man on earth, Usain Bolt, gets a taste of his own medicine. Riding pillion with Formula 1 legend, Lewis Hamilton, the two stars got together for some crazy AMG action in Austin, Texas.

The most successful Formula One racer, Lewis Hamilton, has a joint 7 World Driver’s Championship Titles to his name. On the other hand, and a step further, ‘Lightning Bolt’ is an 8 time Olympic Gold medalist himself.

As the ride begins, fans find Bolt enjoying his time on the racing track. However, later in the video, Bolt’s nervousness and fearfulness were on full display.

“I need to get this traction control off,” said Lewis.

“Don’t take that off! No! Don’t turn it off!” Bolt yelled at the top of his voice. “Dear God, please be on! Please be on, please be on, please be on.”

All in all, it turned out to be an exciting day in his life. He seemed to have enjoyed the whole ride and was smiling throughout.

“Oh my God, he tried to kill me!” said Bolt jokingly after the ride.

“You’re still alive bro,” replied Lewis with a laugh.

He has been spotted a lot of times in his Ferrari F30 Spider, which seems to have become his favorite.

It is no surprise that the fastest man alive chooses the fastest car there is. However, it will be a surprise to see him ride with Lewis Hamilton ever again, given his last experience.
