Lewis Hamilton is the greatest Formula 1 driver ever. Naturally, his athleticism and talents are beyond the match of us mere mortals. However, one very special Olympian had the distinct opportunity of teaching Hamilton one of his skills.

Usain Bolt is one of the greatest athletes on this planet. However, when he was on the podium of the United States Grand Prix in 2017, he was asked by Lewis Hamilton to teach the 7x World Champion and trick or two from Bolt’s repertoire.

As per gpblog.com“Bolt, one of the most successful runners ever, lost his gold medal in 2017, which he won in the four hundred meters in Beijing in 2008. The reason was that another rider of the Jamaican team, Nesta Carter, was found guilty of doping.” (translated via Google Translate)

But what minor sporting penalty can the FIA impose on Red Bull? It can be a range of sanctions against the Bulls. However, the penalties that Red Bull and Max Verstappen can be highly varied. That is to say, it can be a small reprimand or even Verstappen losing his World Championship. It is still to be seen however, how the FIA will react.
