The McLaren duo of Carlos Sainz Jr [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/] and Lando Norris [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lando-norris/] are undoubtedly a breath of fresh air for McLaren. The two drivers are fast on the track and get along swimmingly off it as well. Recently, Lando Norris posted a GIF of him winning a Jenga game against Sainz and the latter good-naturedly shoving him off a chair that they were sitting on. Then the conversation inexplicably shifted to include former F1 driver Marcus Ericsson [https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/formula-1/sauber/news/real-races-in-indycar-not-f1-ericsson_363815.html]. For the uninformed, the joke surrounded Ericsson who was blamed for Romain Grosjean [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/romain-grosjean/] crashing out in Baku 2018. The truth was that Ericsson was nowhere near the French driver. Not to be outdone, Lando Norris shot back with another gem, ‘threatening’ legal action against the Spaniard. Even Ericsson could not resist getting in on the action and replied to the conversation. 

Lando Norris is Formula One's resident joker, so when he and teammate Carlos
Sainz got into some shenanigans on Twitter, it would be hilarious
