F1 and Golf recently had quite a big crossover as Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez played a round of golf against TaylorMade pro Michael Block. Perez, who caught onto golf quite quickly, displayed an impressive performance as Verstappen drove him around the course.

In the first round of the match, Max Verstappen picked the club that Block would hit for the hole. The player with the least shots to the hole would win the round. Verstappen picked a sand wedge, a six iron, and then a driver for putting. Block was in quite a tough spot.

However, Block rose up to the challenge, and they ended the first round tied for points. Max Verstappen enjoyed himself in round 2, as he went about drifting the golf cart while driving Perez as well as Block round. Being the speed challenge, it was helpful to have Verstappen driving them around the course.

Perez went on to win the challenge with the faster time and they moved on to the last challenge of the day, which was the longest drive challenge. Block won the challenge with ease, all while using the new Red Bull Oracle Stealth Driver that was recently released in a new collaboration.
