George Russell, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez will headline the drivers' press conference at the Mexico City Grand Prix later today.

The Mexico City Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is next on the Formula 1 calendar and marks the second round of the current triple-header.

As usual, Thursday is media day in the paddock. Six drivers will speak to the press at the FIA press conference, while the rest will have separate media sessions.

The first group will feature George Russell, Oliver Bearman, who had a standout race last year in Mexico City, and Pierre Gasly. Their session will begin at 13:30 local time (19:30 UK time).

In the second group, home favourite Sergio Perez will face plenty of questions. He will be joined by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Williams' Alex Albon. The second group will start at 14:00 local time (20:00 UK time).

On Friday, between the two free practice sessions, three team principals will take part in the second press conference of the weekend. The session will be headlined by Red Bull Racing boss Laurent Mekies. The Frenchman will be joined by Haas' Ayao Komatsu and Williams' James Vowles.

Moreover, two further press conferences will take place after qualifying and Sunday's Grand Prix, with the top three finishers attending the latter. In recent seasons, the world champions have also held a separate press conference. As Kimi Antonelli is just two points away from clinching the 2026 drivers' title, this could also happen this weekend.
