Where can I watch the FIA gala with the award ceremony?

The ceremony starts earlier, at 16:00hrs. This is when the FIA Champions Press Conference will commence. You can also tune in on the Facebook of the FIA. Amongst other things, the departure of Jean Todt, president of the FIA, will be highlighted.

A very big fan of the gala doesn't seem to see Verstappen, judging by his 2018 words. The top three in the world championship should always be present at the gala. Verstappen had just missed out on third place in the World Championship and then stated: "We calculated that way on purpose. That way I don't have to go to the FIA gala!" Still, the upcoming edition will be a special one for Verstappen with receiving the cup for his first world title.
