Charles Leclerc will want to forget today, while Max Verstappen has opened up a simply lovely 63-point lead at the top of the World Championship. FrenchGP 🇫🇷 F1
Schumacher was the driver in trouble, the Haas pitched into a spin by Zhou Guanyu, the Alfa Romeo having to pit for a new front wing. Meanwhile Sainz’s climb up the order was hit by news of a five-second time penalty for forcing Alex Albon to slam the brakes in the pit lane after an unsafe release.
The top ten ran as they were until Sainz made his next move, the Ferrari driver up to P4 as he overtook Russell. The only other close battle inside the top ten was Norris chasing down Alonso while the fight for 11th involved Albon, Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas, Magnussen andBack at the front Hamilton began to make inroads into Verstappen only to go off the track at Turn 2, costing him time and seemingly ending his challenge.
Local driver Gasly received a big cheer from his mum as he overtook Magnussen and then moved up to P13 as Bottas pitted. Magnussen dropped another position as he lost ground to Schumacher and then he tangled with Nicholas Latifi, both off the track and the latter spinning. Magnussen, facing a penalty, retired the car with Latifi also parking his.
With 11 to go Sainz finally made a move on Perez, the two wheel to wheel before the Spaniard pulled ahead… and as he did so Ferrari told the Spaniard to “box”. His reply: “Not now, not now!” Russell tried to take advantage but almost collected Perez, pushing the Red Bull off the track with Perez rejoining ahead of Russell. “He just turned into me,” said Russell. As he continued to rage, Toto Wolff came over the radio to tell him to calm down and hunt down Perez.
