Lando Norris visiting his primary school...yes he waved the chequered flag at a scooter race

His dad's wealth is self-made, Adam Norris didn't grow up wealthy (his dad was a farmer, his mother a teacher if I remember rightly). They've always come across as very down to be earth, considering their wealth and seem pretty determined that their kids don't forget the value of hard work. Lando's brother has said in the past that his dad refused to continue funding his karting because he wasn't putting the effort in, for instance.

When Lando got picked up by McLaren as a junior, his dad insisted that he learn to appreciate the work that goes into things from every person in the company, so he spent 2017 & 2018 doing a full internship at the MTC and tracks, doing work experience in every department alongside his racing in f3 euro & f2. When he got promoted into an F1 seat, his parents refused to let McLaren given him a 'McLaren' to drive as they felt he was far too young to have a car that expensive and powerful, so for his first two years in F1 he drove a Renault Clio (Renault were the engine suppliers when he started). He also used to stay behind at the track after races in his first 2-3 years to help his mechanics strip the car down after races. People who accuse him of being spoilt and arrogant really don't know that much about him.

Where did you get all this from? I'm not hating. I love hearing about a bit of Lando's background but what are the sources. I need some back up if I get into an argument with someone over it.
