The Carlos Sainz – Lando Norris duo was easily one of the healthiest teams in the paddock. With the right blend of competition, respect, and sportsmanship, their friendship turned into a bromance.
And even after Sainz’s shift to the Prancing Horse, the two are seen joking around the paddock together. Though Norris wasn’t too happy about the Spaniard’s decision, the two have been on really good terms with each other.
Recently, the duo took to play golf with Sainz’s current teammate, Charles Leclerc, on their day off ahead of the race this weekend. F1 journalist Chris Medland tweeted about their outing.

After spending a couple of years in papaya, the two have stayed strong, and this could especially be seen at the end of the Monaco Grand Prix this season. Norris and Sainz celebrated sharing the podium with each other, which was followed by an adorable champagne fight.
Carlando isn’t the first of F1 bromances. We have Vettel and Raikonnen, Ricciardo and Verstappen, Berger and Senna, to name a few. What defines these partnerships is that the two are rivals on track and friends off the track. With Lando and Carlo, there is something different. Something so invigorating to watch, it only makes you wish you were a part of it.
