Kimi Antonelli wins inaugural Madring F1 race as VSC costs Lando Norris
Kimi Antonelli capitalized on a Virtual Safety Car to edge Lando Norris before holding off Max Verstappen to win the inaugural Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix at Madring
As always the Thursday will be dominated by the FIA press conferences and also this time we can see some nice duos.
Max Verstappen will kick off this weekend’s press conference together with former teammate Carlos Sainz. The two drove together at the former Toro Rosso team, now known as AlphaTauri. Verstappen can expect a lot of attention during his home race.
Verstappen and Sainz are not the only former teammates who will form a duo on Thursday. Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo, who drove together at Red Bull Racing, will also appear together in the press conference.
Another notable duo is George Russell and Lando Norris. The two are good friends, so we can surely expect a lot of jokes between the two drivers. Lewis Hamilton will take place next to Antonio Giovinazzi. The press conference will start at 11:30 UK time.
