Usain Bolt has been confirmed as the official starter for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday.
The eight-time Olympic Gold-medallist will be responsible for giving the drivers the go-ahead to start their formation laps ahead of Sunday's 56-lap race. Bolt joins an already star-studded line-up which includes legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer -- who will be introducing the 20 drivers to the track.
Stevie Wonder is to perform on Sunday as part of an entertainment package set up by organisers. The package will feature the Prairie View A&M Band and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, who will perform on the starting grid.
