“Charles left our group to join Alex‘s group” – Formula 1 x Golf collaboration as the next-gen stars set to tee off on Monday, led by Lando Norris and Alex Albon.
Formula 1 is an extremely fast sport, with speed of the racing cars touching upwards of 300 km/h. The cars here are faster than most road and other racing cars in the world.
But interestingly, the young, dynamic set of drivers currently are interested in a sport which is known for its calmness and slow pace.
Alex Albon’s girlfriend is a well-known golfer, so it is no surprise he is leading the way. He has invited Ferrari star Charles Leclerc for a session on Monday, as he divulged to Sky’s Ted Kravitz.
Charles Leclerc: “Aww he is so nice…He has my phone number, so he can text me. So yeah, we are playing on Monday, and I am really looking forward to it!
“He [Alex Albon] is not too bad. On our good days, we can do something special at golf, but I am pretty sure Monday won‘t be one of our good days, so we will struggle a bit more.”
Ted Kravitz: He did say that he is better at golf than you.
CL (laughs): “I don‘t think he is!”
Norris hurt by Leclerc’s rejection
Leclerc’s acceptance of Albon’s invitation has not gone down well with Lando Norris, a huge Golf enthusiast. He revealed the rejection, also revealing his group, which comprises his ex-teammate and his father, and Red Bull star Sergio Perez.
Lando Norris: “My group is Carlos, Checo and myself. It was Carlos Sr. aswell but he had to leave sadly, so we are down a player. Charles left our group to join Alex‘s group. We invited him and he declined.”
