Verstappen to headline his home GP press conference with Russell

After a long summer break, Formula One finally returns this week in Zandvoort, where the Dutch Grand Prix will be held. The drivers' press conference will first get underway on Thursday, then on Friday between the two session, another four team principals will be present. Home favourite Max Verstappen is on the list to answer questions.

Max Verstappen will be present at the FIA press conference this Thursday at his home Grand Prix. The Red Bull drivers returns after the summer break with 78-point lead ahead of Lando Norris. The last time Verstappen had to present was an odd one for the Dutchman, as he was 15 minutes late back at the Austrian Grand Prix, because his flight was unfortunately delayed.

Following his disqualification at the Belgian Grand Prix as his car was under the minimum weight limit, George Russell will also be present at 13:00 GMT, alongside Yuki Tsunoda and Logan Sargeant. Esteban Ocon, Guanyu Zhou, will join Verstappen earlier at 12:30 GMT.

Trying to overtake Red Bull Racing in the constructors' standings this season, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella will be present to answer questions on Friday afternoon. The Italian will be joined by James Vowles, who managed to announce the signing of Carlos Sainz over the summer. Moreover, Ayao Komatsu and Tim Krack will also be present. That session will begin at 13:30 GMT.
