Selected drivers and team representatives attend official media and fan activities. Teams disclose major new aerodynamic parts for the prescribed car presentation. Drivers must be available for interviews after elimination, retirement or finishing, according to the applicable session procedure. The Media Delegate’s instructions determine detailed arrangements; these duties continue outside driving sessions.
After the race

Clothing and ceremony procedures are regulated, with a Monaco exception to the podium protocol.
