Russell and Verstappen to address the media in Vegas
F1 rivals George Russell and Max Verstappen will speak to the media before the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Verstappen’s powerful drive in Brazil boosted his title chances, while Russell narrowly missed the podium. The championship race excludes Russell but remains open for Verstappen, Norris, and Piastri. Verstappen must outscore Norris by at least nine points to defend his title in Las Vegas. The two rivals will face questions in the FIA press conference, known for their on-track battles and differing opinions. Verstappen has publicly criticized the Las Vegas GP’s focus on spectacle, but to stay in the title fight, he must stay focused during the night race. The FIA press conferences for the event will be held a day earlier due to the race schedule, with Russell and Verstappen set to attend on Wednesday.
