This Thursday, the press conference ahead of the Grand Prix of the United States will be held in Austin, and two of the top six drivers will be present there with the media. 

Championship leader and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will be there answering questions as he can seal his fifth championship on Sunday. He'll need Sebastian Vettel to have another bad performance, but if Mercedes grab a one-two, it's over.

Daniel Ricciardo will also be there, as the Aussie will drive his last American Grand Prix as a Red Bull driver before departing for Renault at the end of the year.

The last two drivers present will be Fernando Alonso, who will retire from F1 at the end of the season after seventeen seasons, and Haas driver Romain Grosjean, who will look to overtake Renault in the constructors' championship with the American team at their home race in the United States.

The press conference will start at 10:00 AM local time, and 16:00 BST.
