Lando Norris Exhilarated as Golf Legend Tiger Woods Eyes 2022 Masters Comeback

Lando Norris is a huge golf fan. The McLaren driver is often spotted on the golf course on his off days to take his mind off racing. He speaks really passionately about the sport when he plays with fellow drivers Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, and Alex Albon.

But recently he took to his Instagram stories to reveal his true passion for the sport. Norris was over the moon to learn that golfing legend and arguably the greatest golfer of all time, Tiger Woods, will return to the course.

Woods will take part in the masters after surviving a fatal car crash. Since then, he has been on a path to recovery so that he can compete at the Masters event. Lando could not hide his excitement and posted on his Instagram.

While he’s waiting for Tiger to make his comeback, Norris will take to the track in Australia this week.

Can Lando Norris score points at the Australian GP this weekend?

F1 is returning down under for the first time since the 2020 season. But the sport could not race that year and had to cancel on the eve of the Friday Practice session.

It will be the first race at the Albert Park circuit since 2019. Since then the track has gone into some changes that might favor McLaren this season. Despite their tough start to the season, Norris hopes small steps will be vital for them to get back where they want.

“The race in Jeddah showed the small steps we’ve made, but we’ve still got a long way to go. The points were a nice reward for the team’s hard work,” said Lando.

The team did manage to score some points at the Jeddah Corniche circuit and open their account for this season. But still, they are nowhere near they want to be if they want to compete for podiums and win in 2022.

With new faster sections at the Albert Park circuit, it will definitely benefit McLaren. But the team needs both of its drivers to perform so that they can get the maximum out of their current package.

Hopefully, it would be another positive weekend for Norris and Ricciardo as F1 returns to Australia.
