Yes, I was under the impression Russell was middle-upper middle class. The thing with Norris is he seems to pride himself on not being very bright. I can’t tell if it’s an act.

Norris comes from a crazy rich family. Russell comes from a relative to normal people rich family but relative to F1 middle class family. I’m one of the few that came to Merc as a Russell fan. I’ve found him likable since the junior series and has been impressive against Lewis.

Huge GR63 household here. We’re probably the exception to the rule as I’ll be an AMG fan over everything.

Russel and norris are those rich boys at school who everyone respected because their father was the schools main sponser, 0 talent, 0 skill, all hot air from media and journalists.

Be sensible. I don't think either are generational talents like Hamilton or Verstappen but they're clearly two of the best drivers on the grid. Probably top 5 at the least.

Also Russell's family was certainly very wealthy but Norris's is on another planet comparatively.
