Thursday is, as always, the time for the drivers' press conferences. This time it will be extra interesting to see what the drivers think about the sprint race format prior to the weekend at Silverstone. This weekend will be the first weekend that this format will be tested.

During the press conference, Max Verstappen was paired with Pierre Gasly. The two were of course former teammates at Red Bull and will now meet again during Thursday's press conferences. They will also kick off the day.

Norris and Hamilton together

And this is a nice combination after the compliments Hamilton gave to the young Briton during the Austrian GP. Norris will probably have to brace himself for a lot of questions about his mental state after the robbery he experienced on Sunday night following the European Championship final at Wembley.

There are also two young and old drivers who will do the press conference. Fernando Alonso will be in a room with Nikita Mazepin, while Kimi Raikkonen and Yuki Tsunoda will be next.
