The press conference consists of two parts, with five F1 drivers speaking each time. In the first part, we will hear from Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, Pierre Gasly, Guanyu Zhou and Logan Sargeant. They kick off the press conference at 14:30 local time.
A little after 15:00 local time, the before-mentioned drivers make way for five others, including Max Verstappen. The Dutchman takes a seat next to his friend and compatriot Nyck de Vries, but George Russell, Nico Hulkenberg and Oscar Piastri will also be present.
Two more press conferences are scheduled on Friday. In the first of these, leaders from various F1 teams will speak. In the second press conference on Friday, the three fastest drivers from qualifying will speak.
