With the Monaco Grand Prix happening this weekend, the FIA has announced which drivers will be attending the press conference this Wednesday.

At 3pm local time (2pm BST), the drivers' press conference will take place in Monaco. The stage will be occupied by four drivers; Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Romain Grosjean and Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton has won back-to-back races after a slow start to the season and sits top of the championship standings again, while Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel has been through a worse patch of form as his car seems to be struggling with the tyres. Hamilton took the lead in the title race in Baku and extended his lead to seventeen points in Barcelona.

Grosjean is someone who has really been struggling in the last half year, as he hasn't put up any points on the board for Haas since October of last year. His bad form was accentuated in Barcelona, when he spun off the track but turned his car back on the track while spinning, which caused him to take out two cars in a hard crash.

Charles Leclerc has been in terrific form, as the Monegasque rookie has scored points for Sauber in consecutive races, something that hasn't happened in three years for Sauber. He's in red-hot form heading into his home race, where he'll surely try to put up a show in front of his home crowd.

Thursday, the executives' press conference will take after the free practice of that day. Zak Brown, Christian Horner, Fred Vasseur and Toto Wolff will be answering questions then.
