Hamilton is also likely to spell out his expectations for the weekend: can Mercedes repeat Barcelona's performance at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve? Or was it a temporary upturn, and now a circuit awaits on which the updated car will harder times to perform?

In addition to Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez also appear at the press conference. Max Verstappen and George Russell only have report to in the television pen for interviews.
