Usain Bolt introducing himself at the recent Diamond League in Oslo in case you missed it. The chassis is a 2002 Arrows A23.

I thought the A23 was the one with the very wide, very tall nose ?

EDIT: Was wrong. The distinguishing mark of the A23 were piece of bodywork dropping off the nose behind the wing.

Were the F1 sounds coming over the loud speakers? They didn't sound right at all.

The car looked like it was being powered by a golf cart motor :p

Imagine the mess if there was a real racing engine in that thing , instead of a PR event we would be talking of a tragedy at the athletic track

He's not sitting on anything :lol: He's 1.95m tall. Most drivers are usually almost a foot shorter.
