Top line up at press conferences in Portugal; Bottas and Russell seperated

Since the corona pandemic journalists have less access to the drivers and that is why the FIA chooses to organise a press conference where all the drivers will be discussed. The team bosses are still making a selection and a large delegation will turn up on Friday in Portimao.

None other than Toto Wolff, Christian Horner and Zak Brown will be there together in the first round of questions. So the team bosses of the three best teams sit together. In the second round, it is the turn of Marcin Budkowski of Alpine, Laurent Mekies of Ferrari and Toyoharu Tanabe of Honda. No lightweights either.

To make the press conference for the drivers a bit more exciting, the teammates don't show up together anymore this year but they are put next to each other at random. Of course, it would have been nice if the FIA had paired Valtteri Bottas with George Russell for this weekend, but they didn't dare to do so. The complete schedule for Thursday looks as follows:
