The French Grand Prix returns to the F1 calendar following its cancellation last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the Paul Ricard Circuit hosting the seventh round of the 2021 season. 

Just four points separate Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the top of the drivers' championship after both drivers failed to score in Azerbaijan. 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 disappointing 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.
