Thursdays always traditionally mark the start of a Formula 1 grand prix weekend – there might be no action on the track, but the entertainment can be found by popping in and out of team hospitality blocks to hear from the drivers throughout the media day.
This week in Canada, all 20 drivers will speak to the assembled press either in sessions held in their team’s respective motorhome or, if selected, during the FIA press conference held in the afternoon. There will be plenty of journalists and television crews – who get their own individual access to the drivers in separate sessions – in all of those briefings, but none will be as busy or as anticipated as when the Red Bull hospitality opens up to allow in the throng of reporters to speak to Max Verstappen.
