Hamilton to appear at drivers' press conference

Lewis Hamilton will appear at the drivers’ press conference ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix later today after being excused two weeks ago in Monaco following the passing of Niki Lauda.

The championship leader will be joined by drivers from four of the midfield teams, with Kimi Raikkonen, Lando Norris, Daniil Kvyat and home favourite Lance Stroll also making appearances.

Hamilton’s team boss Toto Wolff is the main attraction at the team principal’s press conference on Friday. He will be joined by Honda boss Toyoharu Tanabe, Pirelli’s Mario Isola, Guenther Steiner from Haas and Toro Rosso boss Franz Tost.

The drivers’ conference is at 4pm UK time on Thursday, and the team principals’ conference is on Friday at 5pm UK time.
