The FIA has finally released the names of the drivers that will face the press later today. Usually, Formula 1's governing body release the names on Wednesday, however, this time it has left it a bit later.
Keeping with the format of this season's conferences, there will be two parts, with three drivers speaking in each part. Predictably, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are paired together and will no doubt be bombarded with questions about the Baku incident. In the room with them will be Kevin Magnussen.
The second group contains Red Bull's Max Verstappen, the Dutchman's old teammate Carlos Sainz and the experienced Williams driver Felipe Massa. The press conference gets underway at 15:00 local time.
On Friday, after both practice sessions have concluded, there will be another press conference for team bosses, engineers and other important figures. Facing the media will be Maurizio Arrivabene (Ferrari), Mario Isola (Pirelli), Toto Wolff (Mercedes), Franz Tost (Toro Rosso), Günther Steiner (Haas F1 Team) and an unknown person Sauber, (rumoured to be new team principal Frederic Vasseur).
I'm in today's press conference alongside @LewisHamilton and Sebastian Vettel. Not sure I'm going to be talking much this time ?

As expected no questions for Magnussen. Only the big guys are interesting the F1 World.
