WATCH: F1 star Pierre Gasly tries simulator golf with Louis Oosthuizen and his LIV Golf team
F1 star Pierre Gasly joined Louis Oosthuizen and his Stinger GC teammates for a golf event last night. Gasly, winner of the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, joined the LIV players to try an innovative golf simulator. The Italian drives for the Alpine team and is in Qatar this weekend for the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.
The International Series uploaded a video of the event on Instagram. In the video, Gasly played a few golf shots in front of the stimulator’s projector and posed for a picture with the Stinger GC players. The golfers also visited Gasly's team's garage in Doha.
The post's caption read,
“A different type of driving for @stingergc_ last night 🤝🏎️ We took the Stinger GC family for a full F1 experience at Lusail International Circuit where they showed @pierregasly a thing or two before heading behind the scenes to the @alpinef1team garage.”
Another F1 star, Carlos Sainz, also plays golf and recently spoke about his interest. He said (via NBC),
“Unfortunately I am not progressing anymore, I am completely stuck because I cannot play more than I already play…My God, I would like to become a much better golfer. But F1 is taking me too much time.”
Sainz played golf at the Netflix Cup along with F1 stars Alex Albon and Lando Norris.
