Leclerc meets world champion in press conference, Verstappen in 'TV pen'

The Formula One drivers are preparing for the French Grand Prix. First thing on Thursday afternoon, they have to appear at the press conference, with a different format this time.

The organisation has divided the drivers into four groups. The first two groups will appear at the press conference, while the other half of the riders will address the press and other media in the so-called 'TV pen'.

At the press conference, Charles Leclerc is in the first group. With Sebastian Vettel he has a four times world champion next to him. Guanyu Zhou, Lando Norris and Nicholas Latifi also appear in this group. Half an hour later, the press sees Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez among others.

In the 'TV pen' Max Verstappen can be heard. The Dutchman is in the same group with George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll and Yuki Tsunoda. The other five include Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas.
