Lando Norris feels that George Russell has become less fun now that he has made his move to the Mercedes team.

Russell and Norris both made their Formula 1 breakthroughs in 2019 after battling for the Formula 2 title during the previous season, Russell joining Williams while Norris went to McLaren.

The pair were very familiar with each other before that having risen up the junior ladder together.

Norris remains a McLaren driver, while Russell secured a switch to the Mercedes team for 2022, a move which has benefitted Russell on the track, but according to Norris, not in terms of personality.
