It was press conference day at COTA, so here's your best selection of F1 news to come from the day in Austin...
Thursday saw the pre-race press conferences take place at the Circuit of The Americas, leaving plenty of F1 news to digest from the day in Austin.
The FIA explained that Hamilton’s “role model” status in the sport meant that him crossing a live track should be looked into again, prompting criticism that the same move would not be done to other drivers. “Ultimately, I think it was just poor communication. I don’t think what they had said is exactly what they meant.
“I saw that, from the outside, people were trying to basically talk some BS because I think the mood in the team is very good,” Verstappen said on Thursday. “No, I have a contract for next year, and no reason not to respect that contract, I’m going to give my very best to it. I’ve made a commitment but, more than that, it will not be my final contract in F1.”Away from Austin, the World Motor Sport Council convened and the FIA approved several rule changes, alongside moves such as Pirelli being confirmed as Formula 1’s sole tyre supplier until 2027.
