As per usual, over the Thursday and Friday at the Monaco Grand Prix, two FIA press conferences will be held in the Principality. After winning the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, Max Verstappen will also be present at this event.
On the media day this Thursday, six drivers in two turns will answer questions.
The first group involves home-favourite Charles Leclerc, and the two out of the three French drivers on the grid, Pierre Gasly and Isack Hadjar. Leclerc had to miss the media day after being sick at the Emilia-Romagna GP.
In the second group, Max Verstappen will feature after his second victory of the 2025 season in Italy. He will be joined by Brazilian rookie Gabriel Bortoleto and Alexander Albon.
The team representatives' press conference is scheduled to be hosted on Friday, in between FP1 and FP2.

There, three team principals are scheduled to be present. Toto Wolff returns to the paddock after he was absent last weekend.
The Austrian will be joined by Andy Cowell (Aston Martin) and a former key figure at his Mercedes side, James Vowles (Williams).
