After the spectacular party-like weekend in Zandvoort, the Formula 1 season is not standing still. This weekend, the Italian Grand Prix in Monza is scheduled, which includes the second sprint race of the season. The duos for the press conferences on Thursday have been announced.

Max Verstappen doesn't know yet, a day before the press conference, with whom he will sit in the press area. The Alfa Romeo driver should be Kimi Raikkonen, but because of his positive coronavirus test last weekend, it is uncertain if he will sit next to the Dutchman. If the Finn is not seated there then Robert Kubica will likely accompany the Red Bull driver.

Press conferences after much news about drivers

This week Valtteri Bottas has been confirmed as an Alfa Romeo driver for 2022, George Russell will race for Mercedes, the two seats of AlphaTauri (Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda), and the Williams pair of Alexander Albon and Nicholas Latifi for next season were officially confirmed. They will probably be asked more questions about next season than about the Monza race at the press conference on Thursday.
