Max Verstappen is still assessing what his approach to FIA press conferences will be when F1 returns at the Circuit of the Americas.
Max Verstappen will wait to assess the situation in Austin before deciding on continuing his quasi-boycott of the official FIA press conferences at the United States Grand Prix. If selected, he wants to gauge the circumstances following the three-week break post the contentious events in Singapore. The decision on his participation in the pre-race press conference in Austin will be made closer to the weekend, keeping in mind his past controversy in Singapore. Verstappen faced consequences for his language in Singapore, which led him to limit his official FIA interactions and opt for impromptu media gatherings in the paddock.
