Max Verstappen arrived late to the press conference. The Dutchman was supposed to attend the media at 14:30, but he did not make it in time. In fact, the Dutchman got there 16 minutes later than expected.
Verstappen is going for his 62nd victory in Formula 1 this weekend. He has already won five times at the Red Bull Ring, but this is no guarantee. Last weekend, the Dutchman himself stated that he was far from certain of a win at Red Bull Racing's home circuit.
On Wednesday, it was announced that Verstappen would be at the press conference. With him, Charles Leclerc, Logan Sargeant, Guanyu Zhou and Yuki Tsunoda were also invited to answer the media's questions.

Meanwhile, Verstappen arrived at the press conference. The Dutchman was as much as 16 minutes late. Whether there will be a consequence for being late is still unknown. It could be that the three-time world champion will receive a warning or a fine.
