Lando Norris is one of the most acclaimed drivers in Formula One. The Englishman has honed his skills ever since making his debut in 2019 and is now a major challenger with his McLaren ‘MCL35M.’ However, Norris’ skills are confined to the racing track as his compatriot Ian Poulter trolled him after a failed trick with a golf club.

Ian Poulter is currently not a part of the field at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The veteran golfer is currently enjoying his brief time away from the tour, and he poked fun at Lando Norris with a recent tweet.

Norris uploaded a hilarious video where he can be seen hitting himself on the face with a golf club. The 21-year-old F1 driver met with the disaster when he attempted to catch the club using a trick. Unfortunately, it backfired.
