Did Lando Norris escape another injury? Seems like it. Every time the Brit relishes his breaks, something or the other has to happen. It’s becoming a ritual now. Luckily none of his injuries have been major. But such sudden encounters are becoming frequent for Norris. This time, Zak Brown is to be blamed for the incident.

So, currently, Lando and McLaren CEO Zak Brown are spending their time playing golf. They’ve been accompanied by golfing icons Ian James Poulter and Olympian, Justin Rose. And it looks like, during their day out, Brown unknowingly hit his driver with the golf club!

Norris might have stood close to Zak Brown when he swung his club. Just then, his club acted like the ultimate fatal weapon and hit Norris around his waist. Fortunately, nothing major happened, except a big red bruise that now adorns the F1 star’s waist. His boss shared an Instagram story, and you could spot the bruise on Lando’s skin. Brown added the caption: “Oops, sorry Lando! Next time don’t stand so close 🤣🏌🏻‍♂️”

Even in a situation like this, Zak Brown isn’t keeping his humor aside. Of course, he wouldn’t hit his ‘star boy’ on purpose. And so even Lando Norris knows this was just an accident. Hence, no fuss at all. However, looking at the bruise, it could be painful for a day or two. Meanwhile, the golf course episode brings back memories of Lando injuring his nose while partying. Let’s take a look back at the incident.

Lando Norris was agonized by a nasty facial injury earlier this year. During the break after the Chinese GP, Norris was in Amsterdam to celebrate Koningsdag (King’s Day). He was with his close friend and world-renowned DJ, Martin Garrix. The McLaren driver, known for his DJing talents, often parties with Garrix.

However, during the celebration, Norris cut his nose on broken glass at the boat party. Everyone thought Lando had a broken nose. This meant, he would’ve to miss the Miami GP, which was right after the break. Luckily, nothing major happened, except a cut, which left his face bandaged like a mummy. The McLaren driver was sporting his mummy-esque bandage with patches of blood on the top. Lando Norris was smiling through his pain. But this didn’t stop him from racing at the Miami GP and winning the same.
