Lando Norris believes his friend and fellow racer George Russell has become more serious since joining Mercedes.
Russell earned his shot with the Silver Arrows after impressing in his three-year spell with Williams. And his strong form has continued, with top-five finishes in every race he has completed so far in 2022 – the exception being at the British Grand Prix, where he was taken out in a crash on the first lap.
He has even out-scored Lewis Hamilton, earning praise from many as a result, including from the seven-time world champion himself and the man whose seat he took, former Mercedes racer Valtteri Bottas. Norris is also very proud of his friend, who he believes has had to adapt his personality to fit in better with his new surroundings.
