Thursday marks the beginning of a Formula 1 grand prix weekend in a traditional manner, with media activities involving drivers taking place. This week in Canada, all 20 drivers will hold press conferences either in their team’s motorhome or in the FIA press conference. The spotlight will be on Max Verstappen due to his recent controversies, particularly from the Spanish Grand Prix. Verstappen’s media session in Montreal is highly anticipated, considering his recent Instagram post hinting at his feelings about the incidents in Barcelona.
With Verstappen on the brink of a one-race ban due to penalty points, there’s speculation on whether he needs to adjust his aggressive racing style. Despite his racing demeanor, his media interactions have been more reserved, as seen in his reluctance to discuss certain incidents in previous instances. Verstappen’s upcoming media session in Canada holds the potential for him to address the Barcelona controversies, adding an intriguing element to the pre-race build-up.
