Which I don't understand. He doesn't live in the UK. Has been known to skip a fan event in London. Dodges taxes in England. Gets kicked out of Wimbledon because he wouldn't comply with the dress requirements for the Royal Box on Centre Court.
Then there is the vegan and climate change stuff. He tells everyone what to do in both those areas. Which is a bit bizarre in with regard to oil consumption/burn since he drives a race car that serves no point from a climate change perspective.
There is a push on the interwebs for him to be Knighted. But the detractors say that it won't happen due to the tax stuff (I'd add that the Wimbledon thing didn't help and that Buckingham Palace are concerned that he won't act properly in the future).
I think that given half a chance, Crofty would marry LH
If Russell gets a good ride and starts winning consistently, there may be a change in "home town hero".
