Nicholas Latifi will make no slow start to his Formula 1 career as he is due to take part in the drivers' press conference ahead of the Australian Grand Prix. The Canadian will be joined by Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and home favourite Daniel Ricciardo.

The drivers' press conference will take place on Thursday, while on Friday their bosses get an opportunity to answer questions from the media. For the drivers, the two drivers with the most world championships on the current grid are chosen, the homegrown talent and the rookie.
