Formula 1’s newest race winner, Daniel Ricciardo, has been selected to form part of the six-strong line-up for Thursday’s Drivers’ Press Conference in Austria, live on Sky Sports F1.

Two weeks on from his surprise breakthrough success in Montreal which ended Mercedes’ 100 per cent start to the season, Ricciardo is likely to have arrived at Red Bull’s new home event in even higher spirits than usual as he bids to continue his impressive start to life at F1's top table.

Serial GP winner Fernando Alonso joins the Australian in front of the press, and as one of only four men in the current field to have raced in F1 around the Red Bull Ring back at the start of the century, the Spaniard is set to give his expert insights on the challenges of driving the track, as well as assessing Ferrari’s chances of rebounding from another disappointing showing in Canada.

The pair will be joined by a host of young guns in the form of Max Chilton, Marcus Ericsson, Esteban Gutierrez and Sergio Perez, who will speak in public for the first time since being handed a five-place grid penalty for the spectacular collision with Felipe Massa at the last race.

Meanwhile, Friday’s team bosses’ conference will be a heavyweight affair thanks to the presence of Red Bull’s Christian Horner, Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, McLaren’s Eric Boullier and new Ferrari man Marco Mattiacci.
