But the Brit insists he and everyone at McLaren will do all they can to prevent all-out war breaking out between the garages.

Formula 1 history is littered with examples of the relationship between team-mates breaking down when they are both gunning for glory.

McLaren have their own high-profile examples, with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the late 1980s and, more recently, Fernando Alonso versus a rookie Lewis Hamilton in 2007.

It remains very early days in terms of McLaren's ability to compete for the F1 drivers’ title and Norris knows himself that the atmosphere is likely to change at some point.
