Golf Enthusiast Lando Norris Lived Every Golfer’s Dream, Credits Former McLaren F1 Teammate for His Obsession

Lando Norris is one of the best young F1 talents. He has showcased his potential on many occasions. Other than racing for Mclaren in Formula 1, he is known for his love for golf. Fans spotted the 22-year-old driver at the Golf course before the Italian Grand Prix this year. Looking at his love for the sport, fans now wonder who introduced him to the sport.

For Lando Norris, golf represents ‘relaxation away from the paddock’. Following his love, the McLaren driver competed in the BMW PGA Championship, which is arguably every golfer’s dream. His teammates were pro golfer Tyrrell Hatton, actor Tom Felton, and former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler.

In his telegraph column, Lando Norris mentioned his fondness for golf. He wrote, “I am a golf addict. I thought I would use my column this week to write a little bit about my relationship with golf, as it seems to have become a thing. I’m always getting asked about it in interviews.”

In the column, Norris revealed who introduced him to this sport. “I probably have Carlos Sainz to thank for that. It was Carlos who introduced me to golf when we were teammates at McLaren in 2019.”

He further added, he’d like to get some tips from Carlos Sainz, and titled him the “best golfer among us F1 drivers.”

The season has been fantastic for the Mclaren Driver. The hardships of the teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, didn’t make Norris lose any hope on the track.

Norris has been really quick this season. He finished out of points 4 times. He even ended up getting a podium at Emilia Romagna. This was surely one of the performances that got him his 4-year contract extension earlier this year.

“I have grown up in this team and I’m part of this journey we’re all on,” said Norris back in February, showing his faith in the team. “I want to continue to try to reach that dream of ours and try to win races, and of course to try and win championships.”

Addressing the long-term deal and whether he can leave if McLaren isn’t as successful as hoped, he said, “This is more for the solidarity of me and the team, the confidence in both for the long term.”
