Fans react to Lewis Hamilton golfing with Lando Norris

“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.”
