McLaren Formula F1 driver Lando Norris is well-known for seeking out new adventures in his life. He recently tried his hands at baseball with American MLB star Paul Goldschmidt at West Ham's football stadium.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Norris discussed his stint in the MLB. When asked how well he knew baseball, the F1 driver compared it to golf, saying:
"I mean, it’s like swinging a golf club but sideways right, pretty easy, it’s the same thing.”
It is pertinent to note that Lando Norris was featured in the Netflix documentary "Drive to Survive," whose producers went on to produce the golf docuseries "Full Swing."
