Norris still engages in banter with former teammate Sainz

Norris and Carlos Sainz were regarded as the best teammates in Formula One, often having fun away from the track. When the two spend time together, they do nothing but share jokes with each other. So when they played a game of golf where Norris was winning; the Brit wouldn’t stop boasting about it, which annoyed the Spaniard.

He said, “I played some golf with Lando. Lando won this time, although he did a particularly unpleasant post on social media, like saying ‘I crumbled’ or something like that.

“When we were just playing for fun, imagine I would have to put in social media all the times that I beat him at something. He would be depressed,” he concluded.

We can only expect more banter from Norris as the season progress. Additionally, with Alex Albon returning to F1 next year with Williams, the F1 community will be looking forward to seeing what new jokes has Lando prepared.
