After Max Verstappen was accused of attempting to overtake under safety car conditions, Red Bull Racing lodged a protest against George Russell.

It was recently announced on Sky Sports that the press conference that Red Bull Racing's team principal, Christian Horner, was set to have has been postponed.

Media briefing delayed

This is due to him wanting to wait until the the hearing was underway.

"Horner's media briefing delayed. Most team bosses speak to the media after the race, and Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was due to talk five minutes ago. However, that has been delayed as Horner does not want to speak until the hearing is underway. That hearing should be about to start."
