Formula 1 drivers will take part in the inaugural Netflix Cup right before the Las Vegas GP. F1 drivers, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, and Pierre Gasly will team up with some of the biggest names in Golf from the PGA tour. Now, Norris has revealed that he would be heavily relying on his teammate during the entire event.

The McLaren driver revealed that he has not had time to play Golf in recent months. The busy 2023 F1 calendar might have played a role in this regard. Norris claimed that he must’ve lost touch in the game. Although, the Briton has been trying his hand in the past few weeks to prepare for the inaugural event.

I’ve not been playing a lot of golf at all over the last few months, just for different reasons. I’ve kind of lost touch but I’ve tried to get back into it in the last few days.

Lando Norris said as reported by Racingnews365

The 24-year-old was convinced that he would be up to speed by the time of the Netflix Cup. Although, Lando Norris admitted that his teammate, Rickie Fowler might be forced to carry the team throughout the event. The Netflix Cup will take place at the Wynn Golf Club in Nevada and will be streamed globally.
