Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris have had a disappointing start to the season and will be looking to put up a good display in Melbourne – the pair recently went golfing
F1 action doesn’t resume until next week and the drivers’ are making the most of their leisure time ahead of the Australian Grand Prix. The Australian GP is scheduled to take place from March 31 – April 2 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne – a gap of two weeks after the last race was held in Jeddah.
The break provides a golden opportunity for the teams to sort out technical issues and the drivers can refresh themselves doing what they love before starting a hectic stretch of the season.
Most of the F1 drivers are spending some quality time with family and friends during the break, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris’ were spotted enjoying the game of golf along with Hamilton’s uncle Terry.
Both the British drivers have had an indifferent start to the season and would look to come back strong next week in Melbourne. While Norris had a poor outing in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia – finishing 17th on both occasions, Hamilton missed the podium in both races, finishing 5th each time.
Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on social media.
“Getting him ready for a Merc (Mercedes) seat next year”, wrote a fan.
“Lando discussing career opportunities after these two first races lol”, joked another fan, referring to McLaren’s poor showing in the first two races of the season.
“The dynamic between these two is quite distinct and in a good way. Lewis praising Lando on the radio in 2021 was very unique. Honestly I’d love Lando to step up to Mercedes whenever Lewis leaves. I think that him and George would be a lethal pairing”, read a tweet.
“Great way for Lando to relax and enjoy a lively discussion about life, the universe and everything with Lewis and his uncle while whacking a ball around a golf course”, commented another fan.
Another fan wrote: “I often assume that these guys must hate each other, but after race day all I see are these wholesome pics. It makes me enjoy the sport even more.”
