Although the two title contenders are paired together, their teammates won’t share the same fate. While Valtteri Bottas will address the media with his Finnish compatriot Kimi Raikkonen, Sergio Perez will do so with Sebastian Vettel.
Perez won the previous race in Baku, with Vettel finishing just behind him in second place. In addition, Pierre Gasly, who finished P3 in Baku, will address the media with Lando Norris to begin proceedings tomorrow.
However, the AlphaTauri–McLaren pairing doesn’t stop there, with Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo paired together for tomorrow’s media call.
