Liveticker Formula 1: Grand Prix of France | Sports | '
2/53 The McLaren riders in positions five and six can not keep up with the speed of the top riders. That's bad for Vettel, who drives behind the two. He should try to get past them as soon as possible.
1/53 In the front everything has remained the same: Hamilton in front of Bottas before Leclerc in front of Verstappen. Sainz is past Norris. Vettel is now in seventh place behind the Briton. Verstappen Leclerc had tried to overtake, but did not make it.
BEGIN
WARM-UP
The top riders start with yellow, ie medium tires. Presumably, then follows the change to the white.
The circuit in Le Castellet has been back in the F1 calendar since 2018. In the previous year, there was a collision between Mercedes driver and Ferrari driver Vettel in the first corner. It's 385 meters from the start line to the first corner.
Ferrari had to replace the oil pump on the SF90 of Sebastian Vettel after qualifying. The team had discovered an oil leak and repaired the damage under Parc-Fermé conditions. That is allowed and does not result in any punishment.
"We may have a chance, but Mercedes is just way too fast," says Verstappen of Red Bull on Sky Micro just before the start. And are you worrying about the two McLaren cars behind them? "No not at all."
Sebastian Vettel had to lay down a nice sprint to be present on time for the Nationalmyne. Lewis Hamilton was also late, but drove very leisurely with the e-scooter.
Circuit Paul Ricard is called the Renenstrecke. There are 53 laps to go to the finish line. There are 9 right turns and 6 left turns. The weather: Sunny at 29 degrees, the asphalt temperature is 54 degrees.
The starting position:
1. Hamilton (United Kingdom) – Mercedes
2. Bottas (Finland) – Mercedes
3. Leclerc (Monaco) – Ferrari
4. Verstappen (Netherlands – Red Bull
5. Norris (United Kingdom) – McLaren
6. Sainz (Spain) – McLaren
7. Vettel (Germany) – Ferrari
Once again, silver dominates the first row of the grid. Overall already for the 63rd time in the premier class of motorsport – a record. That today, in the 8th of a total of 21 races a different color at the end on the podium can be seen, seems unlikely at present. The German Vettel has qualified this time only for the seventh starting position. But that may not be so dramatic for him, but the four-time World Champion married his partner during the week – congratulations.
