Zak Brown and Lando Norris have been enjoying a well-deserved break after the Belgian Grand Prix, recently teeing off for a round of golf to kickstart their summer break. The McLaren duo were joined by PGA Tour golfer Justin Rose and LIV golfer Ian Poulter.

Rose paired up with the McLaren CEO, while Poulter teamed up with the star F1 driver, competing in a friendly 18-hole game in a match-play format.

Zak Brown shared glimpses of their golfing outing with the pros, revealing that Justin Rose teed off first. Lando Norris followed, with Brown highlighting the F1 driver's impressive swing. Poulter was next, with Brown rounding out the group.

The McLaren boss also shared the result of the friendly competition, announcing that he and Justin Rose triumphed over Norris and Ian Poulter. Here's what Brown wrote:

"Awesome to get a round in with @ianjamespoulter @justinrose99 @landonorris heading into summer break."

Norris had participated in The Netflix Cup last season, teaming up with PGA Tour golfer Rickie Fowler. They ultimately lost to eventual winners Carlos Sainz and Justin Thomas.


Lando Norris comments on the aftermath of the Hungarian GP

The Hungarian GP witnessed a dramatic turn of events in the final laps, as McLaren had to enforce team orders for Lando Norris to yield the lead to his teammate Oscar Piastri. Initially hesitant to oblige, Norris eventually relinquished the position, settling for second place.

The team-order drama in Budapest led to rumors of a rift developing between the two drivers. Norris dismissed such speculations, emphasizing a straightforward discussion with the team. Speaking to Sky Sports F1, he suggested that the event was exaggerated.

"People made it into a much bigger thing. It was a much quicker conversation between Andreas, myself… I mean, different people. Zak & myself, my manager & myself. It was pretty much a simple conversation. It was understood from both sides of the party and it was crucial that it was not a long process but a very quick one."

Heading into the second half of the season, Norris and Piastri are closing in on Red Bull for the constructors championship. McLaren currently sits 42 points behind the reigning champions.
