When Russell was asked on Thursday if he had any plans for his own grandstand at future races, he said he was working towards one for next year’s event.
Russell said: “I would like it to be honest, it’s something we’re spoken about with the team in the past,” he said. “It’s probably something we’re working towards for next year.
“Where I’d like to put it? Probably, I mean Lando’s got quite a good spot on the outside of Stowe, so I’ll try and steal it off him.”
Russell’s quotes were put to Norris following Saturday’s sprint race, including the suggestion that the driver might try to take some of his seats on the exit of Stowe.
Norris said with a smile: “Good luck!
“And yeah, I mean, he can do whatever he wants. I just have, I think, more passionate fans and a better fanbase, I think.
“So mine was more wanted from a public point of view, which is a great thing.
“But the thing is, even in my grandstand, there’s a good mix of all fans. It’s not just simply fans who are here to support me.
