FIA press conference in Baku: These drivers and team bosses will attend
- Ludo van Denderen
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix starts the final part of the F1 season. In Baku, several drivers will preview the race during the traditional press conference in the historic city centre. Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton will not be called into the FIA press conference room, but will instead speak to the media in the paddock. Christian Horner will answers questions on Friday in the press conference.
As is now customary, the FIA's media session is divided into two parts. The first part features the relativly newcomers to Formula 1, namely Oliver Bearman (Haas), Zhou Guanyu (Kick Sauber) and Franco Colapinto (Williams). The former will appear in a full Formula 1 weekend for the first time.
In the second part of the session, some very experienced drivers will speak. Pierre Gasly (Alpine), Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) and Daniel Ricciardo (RB) will join interviewer Tom Clarkson. The press conference starts at 14:30 Azerbaijan time. This is 11:30 in the United Kingdom.
