Lando Norris admitted there are ‘no excuses anymore’ as he prepares for a potentially defining season with McLaren. After securing his first podium last season, Somerset-born Norris said: ‘There were more points last year where I felt happy with the job I did compared to year one, but not enough. ‘I have tried to be more strict, including with food and trying not to have a pizza as often. ‘But it is also the physical side of it — trying to do more in the gym because I struggle with that part of it. ‘I know I am in Formula One and in a very privileged position, but I can still struggle to go out on a run or into the gym and lift weights, do squats and neck training.
