Usain Bolt test drives Ferrari 458 Italia and 599 GTB at Fiorano

Usain Bolt, world-record holder and gold medal winner at the Olympic Games over 100 and 200 metres, experienced a special day in Maranello, where he tested a 458 Italia and 599 GTB Fiorano on the circuit of the Prancing Horse. The sprinter was excited in the cars as a passenger next to the test-drivers Dario Benuzzi and Raffaele De Simone, while later on he completed some laps himself behind the wheel. At the end of the day he couldn't hide his love for the 458 Italia. "It's a little bit like me, very reactive and determined!"

Later on Bolt joked about the high heartbeat provoked by test-driver Dario Benuzzi, who showed him how to control the car on a wet track. "I was really scared, but it was a good scare. I'm excited like a child." "Today," Bolt added, "I feel very close to the team. I am sorry for yesterday's result, but that's sport, I know what I'm talking about. There are ups and downs, but it's important to know how to get back on the track and I'm convinced that Ferrari knows how to do that."

The tour ended with a visit to the atelier, Ferrari's personalisation area, where Bolt met Ferrari CEO , Amedeo Felisa.

@classiccafe1 You have a very selective knowledge of athletics. You know the personal life of less know athletes but you don't know who is the fastest man in the world! In the "real world" being the fastest person in the world will get you a lot of endorsements, especially if its in the most popular athletic event. Also why is teaching kids to swim a shitty job? What is it that you do for a job in your version of the real world?
