Earlier on Wednesday it was announced that Valtteri Bottas and George Russell will ‘fight each other’ in Thursday’s press conference. It has now also been announced that Max Verstappen will be competing with Charles Leclerc.
The Dutchman has not sat alongside his Ferrari rival at a Thursday press event before this season. Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez will speak to the media at the same time as Lewis Hamilton. Perez, like Bottas and Russell, will also be asked which team he thinks he will drive for in 2022.
Lando Norris, as current number three in the world championship, will be asked about his expectations of the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. He will see generation rival Nicholas Latifi alongside him. The press conference starts at 12:30hrs.
