Lando Norris was recently seen at the baseball field alongside St. Louis Cardinals star player Paul Goldschmidt at London Stadium. The St. Louis Cardinals will play the Chicago Cubs at this year's MLB London Series.
The McLaren F1 driver, who finished 13th in the Canadian GP last Sunday, was in London for a break ahead of the Austrian GP next week. He spent his spare time learning a thing or two about baseball from Goldschmidt.
The 23-year-old Briton talked about his baseball experience in an interview with Sky Sports.
He said:
"I have never been to a baseball game ever or the warm-up whatever it is, and I just don’t come to stadiums like these. It’s pretty sick, the guys are at the top of their game, so it’s an honor to be here."
He was also asked if he had any knowledge about the game. He responded:
"I mean, it's like swinging a golf club but sideways, right? It basically the same thing. And then you had throwing in, you had pitching in."
