And British kid Norris, set for his second season at McLaren, said: “I know a lot of people who don’t watch Formula One because all they see is a Mercedes winning and it looks boring.
“I hope it doesn’t happen this year but it is likely it will. It is a shame but what can you do about it?
“There are so many little things that Mercedes have worked so hard on, like the steering wheel. They come up with these ideas which are just insane and you have to say hats off.
“Everyone needs to do a better job and catch up.” CRICKET: Zak Crawley hopes his knock of 91 in yesterday’s warm-up match can land him a slot for England’s first Test in Sri Lanka.

And ahead of the twoTest series, which begins on March 19, Crawley said: “If the people above think I’m ready to go I’ll play in Galle. I hope I can do well.” CYCLING Italy’s Giacomo Nizzolo won the second stage of the Paris-Nice race, pipping Germany’s Pascal Ackermann in a sprint.
