F1 Grand Prix of France - Practice
Red Bull have shown that they have the pace this weekend

Max Verstappen may have spent most of FP1 getting a new floor and then running different aero specs for his team, but his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, showed that Red Bull have the pace this weekend. During FP2, Max was free to run quick laps and their combined speeds indicated an opportunity for them in France.

They were comfortable on the harder compounds, the soft and supersoft tires, but were not quite at ease with a set of ultrasofts.

It is often that during the practice sessions, the Milton Keynes based team outshine their opponents but come qualifying, they face an upset due to party modes. It is also true that their rivals, Ferrari and Mercedes, do not disclose their hands before the main events of the Grand Prix.

However, Ricciardo has won two races already this season and his teammate is eager to put behind bad start to the year, so they would both be looking for a strong finish to the weekend.


Who do you think will reign supreme at the French Grand Prix this weekend? Sound off in the comments section below!
