The French Grand Prix returns to the F1 calendar following its cancellation last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, w🐟ith the Paul Ricard Circuit hosting the seventh round of the 2021 season.
Just four poi🙈nts separate Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the top of the drivers' championship after both drivers failed to score in Azerba🍰ijan. This allowed Sergio Perez to claim his first victory for Red Bull ahead of Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel and AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly.
Paul Ricard has been a great circuit for Mercedes over the years as it looks to hit back following two disap𓃲pointing races in Monaco and Baku. Ferrari is expected to struggle despite taking back-to-back pole positions, while Alpine will be hoping for a strong result on home soil, especially as Esteban Ocon has just signed a new three-year contract extension.
