Derwent is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
George Russell
I've been a fan of George for a few years. He seems a decent well brought up guy but I can't find any background to his family and wealth. Lando's background and dad's millions are well documented and how they gave Lando loads of testing.
Does Geoge come from a very wealthy family?

I dont believe so.... This article says George's Father (Steve) ran a small pea and beans business which he sold to help fund George's career.

Russell was born on February 15, 1998 in a British town named King’s Lynn to Steve and Alison Russell. He is the youngest of their three children

Steve Russell ran a small, yet successful peas and beans business when his son, George was born. However, he sold that business in order to aid Russell’s ambitions to pursue a career in motor sport. In addition, his mother, Alison also worked as a hairdresser.

In fact, the 23-year-old came from a family which didn’t have as much financial strength as a few other drivers on the current grid

i could have tens of millions of dollars (what any one of us would consider wealthy) and still lack financial strength compared to a billionaire...'didn’t have as much financial strength' is a fairly vague way to say it imo.

but honestly, the 'peas and beans business' is more my lost in translation moment.

does this refer to a type of restaurant, a farmer, or a food processing company maybe? or something else entirely?

It refers to a company described as:

Dunns (Long Sutton) Ltd are a major independent processor and supplier of seeds to agriculture in the U.K. Their range of products includes cereals, peas, beans, oilseeds, grass and other small seeds.

The company was purchased in 2012 by Gleadell Agriculture.

I think George should soon be able to nab the esteemed 'best driver from Kings Lynn' trophy from Martin Brundle given his current trajectory.

No worries - a Peas and Beans business is not a colloquialism (AFAIK).

We can make it one! We just have to figure out what it means. Maybe that is the key, it means whatever you want it to mean. It works in any situation.

I am counting on George to give Lewis the ole Peas and Beans at Imola this weekend!

Nobody needs George to show off his peas.

He can give it the beans, but leave the peas in their pod. And the pod out of sight!

This year he has a tough job against Hamilton, but has done well so far. I expect him to get more results as the season goes on, especially when the Merc is improved
