The FIA has announced the line-ups for the press conferences for the Mexican Grand Prix this weekend. As always, the drivers' press conference will take place on Thursday, with the constructors' team conference taking place a day later after the first free practice session of the weekend.

Who will be in the FIA press conference?

Perez is present in the press conference, but Max Verstappen will not be. The Dutchman will speak to the international media in a more informal setting in Red Bull's hospitality. Verstappen is bound to be questioned about his title battle with Lando Norris.

The FIA has not yet announced which other drivers will have to report for the press conference. However, the GPblog already learned, via Ferrari and Haas F1, that Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Nico Hulkenberg (Haas) will be present.

Update: FIA announce press conference line up

As always, the drivers' press conference will involve six drivers split into two groups. The first group is headlined by home favourite Sergio Perez at his home Grand Prix. Along with Mexican, the winner of the United States Grand Prix will also be involved. Charles Leclerc will take part in the second part of the drivers' press conference, as does Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Sauber's Guanyu Zhou. Nico Hulkenberg and Pierre Gasly will join Perez in the first part of the press conference.

Perez is not the only Red Bull man who will take part in answering questions this weekend. Team principal Christian Horner will be present during Friday's press conference. Alongside the British team boss will be Aston Martin's Mike Krack, and Haas boss Ayao Komatsu will also take a seat.
