Media duties

Drivers have to talk to the press.

When you see a driverOK, so we all know what the driver is, right. I've always liked the description that F1 drivers are like... There's more... go directly from the track to interviews, it’s not because they want to. Drivers must make themselves available to the media. It is part of the rules and they can be fined if they don’t.

When you see a driver immediately go from the track to interviews, it’s not necessarily because they want to. Making oneself available to the media is required, and is a part of the formal rule book.
