Norris: The small mistakes can cost us

McLaren driver Lando Norris has admitted the "small mistakes" can cost his team, as he prepares to make his Formula 1 debut at Circuit Paul Ricard ahead of the French Grand Prix at the weekend.

Norris suffered a bit of a nightmare in Canada, with his car catching fire right in front of the pit-lane, with the youngster admitting he had "no clue" why his MCL33 forced him to retire early.

"I'm excited to get back racing again after Canada and to experience (Circuit Paul) Ricard in an F1 car for the first time," an excited Norris said. "The teams in the midfield are really close and we've had some good battles over the last few races.
