After Playing Michael Jordan’s Exclusive Grove XXIII With Dustin Johnson, Lando Norris’ Obsession With Golf Continues to Grow as Latest Video Proves It

A powerhouse in the fast-paced world of Formula 1 racing, Lando Norris has made a name for himself not only for his prowess on the track but also for his love for golf. The young Briton, who made his debut with McLaren in 2019, has quickly ascended the ranks, earning many plaudits in the sport. Yet, when he’s not racing at breakneck speeds, Norris swaps his McLaren for a golf club, exhibiting a passion for the sport that’s as fervent as his commitment to racing.

Intriguingly, it was his former teammate Carlos Sainz, who sparked Norris’s fascination with golf during their time together at McLaren. His dedication to the sport is evident in his participation in prestigious events like the BMW PGA Championship, where he held his own. Similarly, Norris’s visit to the Grove XXIII golf course owned by NBA legend Michael Jordan ahead of the Miami Grand Prix was filled with amusement. He spent three consecutive days golfing with Dustin Johnson, only to humorously quip that the golf buggies on the course were faster than his McLaren race car. Likewise, his latest admission also showcases the craze of golfing the young Brit has developed.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri took a break from the race track to try their hand at baseball at the London Stadium, ahead of a Major League Baseball clash between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals. This marked the return of MLB to the UK for the first time in four years. When asked about his understanding of baseball, Norris humorously remarked, “It’s like swinging a golf club sideways, right? Then you have throwing in, pitching in, etc.” It is this innocent witty humor that Lando always gets spot on & amuses fans. Still, his love for golf besides F1 is so heartwarming.

However, it isn’t just the professional golfing scene that captivates Norris. The F1 star is equally fond of casual rounds of golf, a fact that became evident in his playful comparison of F1 racing to swinging a golf club sideways. His lighthearted comment went viral on Twitter, bringing a touch of humor to the intense world of F1 racing.

Swapping the Fast Lane for the Fairway: Lando Norris Seeking a Morale Boost from his Off-Track Activities?

Lando Norris’ off-track escapades are something that is helping the Brit to get the stress out, with his team’s downfall in F1.  As of late June, Norris holds the 11th position in the F1 Drivers’ World Championship standings, while McLaren is sixth in the Constructors’ Championship. Perhaps these additional activities boost his morale in a mediocre season for his team.

Beyond racing and golf, Norris is a known figure in the streaming world, often engaging with fans on platforms like Twitch where he shares his gaming experiences. In addition, he’s been spotted DJing at various events, further showcasing his multifaceted personality and interests.

Nevertheless, Norris and the McLaren team face an uphill climb. Fingers crossed that Lando gets reinvigorated with his golfing & gaming passions to transcend into F1 glory. Still, it’s a question to ponder how it would feel to hang out with someone as wide-interested as Norris!
