The 30-year-old, who won the 100 metres at this year's Racers Grand Prix, has already said he plans to retire from the sport after the Aug. 5-13 world championships in Lon- don having won nine Olympic gold medals. "The Racers Grand Prix will be my last race in Jamaica people, it will be the last time I run in Jamaica," Bolt told Television Jamaica's "Smile Jamaica" morning magazine pro- gramme. The Racers Grand Prix will be held on June 10. The Jamaican, who drew down the curtain on his Olympic career in August by securing a sweep of the sprint titles for a third succes- sive Games, will resume training next month. Bolt has wild card entries for both the 100 and 200 metres at the worlds but remains undecided on whether he will run one or both events, saying only it will be his last competition. "Yes I am definitely going to retire after the world championships in London, that will be my last one," said Bolt. Gold medallist Usain Bolt Renault signs Hülkenberg on multi-year deal RENAULT has confirmed that Nico Hülkenberg will join its Formula 1 team in 2017 after the parties agreed a "multi-year deal", with the German driver describing it as a "dream" move for his career. Hülkenberg, 29, made his Formula 1 debut with Wil- liams in 2010, before enjoying two spells with Force India, sandwiching a year with Sauber in 2013, and also claimed victory at Le Mans last year. Force India announced earlier on Friday that Hülkenberg would be leaving the team at the end of the current campaign and Renault has now duly confirmed his signing. Renault has not yet revealed who will line up alongside Hülkenberg next season. "I'm very happy to join Renault for 2017," he said. "Renault has always been a big player in the motorsport world that brings up incredible memories. "In his stint with Renault [Benet- ton], Michael Schumacher not only helped make Germany an F1 nation, he also sparked my enthusiasm and fire for racing. "As a part of the Renault family, I want to develop the car and write new success stories." "It has always been my dream to work for a manufacturer team. F1's new regulations will change the game and give our team a good op- portunity. "In the years to come, Renault will play a challenger role, which fits my approach to racing 100 per cent. I can't wait to become part of the family." Hülkenberg also thanked Force India for allowing him to switch to Renault and has vowed to fully com- mit to his current team across the final few races, as it bids to secure fourth in the Constructors' cham- pionship. "For the remaining races this year, I will give my best for Force India to reach fourth place in the construc- tors' championship," he said. "This would be a great achieve- ment for the whole Force India team, the biggest success in its history and a great end to a fantastic time there. "I am grateful that Force India has given me the chance to take up this new opportunity." Nico Hülkenberg career stats: Races: 113 (111 starts) Wins: 0 (Best result 4th – three times) Poles: 1 Best championship finish: 9th (2014) Teams: Williams (2010), Force India (2012, 2014-16), Sauber (2013) Junior titles: GP2 (2009), F3 Euroseries (2008), A1 Grand Prix (2006-7) Nico Hülkenberg
