Formula 1 heads off to Qatar this weekend, with the country’s inaugural Grand Prix taking place at a staple of the MotoGP calendar, the Losail International Circuit.
F1 has released the press conference schedule for the Qatar Grand Prix which will happen on Thursday and as usual there are interesting driver pair-ups which will be interesting to watch.
Lewis Hamilton will be pairing with George Russell and we will be expecting a lot of questions for the duo as Russell will be joining Hamilton at Mercedes for 2022 F1 season. Also, expect Hamilton to talk on his tight battle for 2021 drivers’ championship with Max Verstappen.
Another interesting duo to watch will be Antonio Giovinazzi and Max Verstappen. Earlier in the week Alfa Romeo announced they will be letting Giovinazzi go, replacing him with chinese driver Guanyu Zhou. For Verstappen, expect to get a lot of insight on the 2021 drivers’ championship battle with Lewis Hamilton as the fight is down to only 3 races.
