Ferrari has decided to invoke an available F-1 rule to meet with them to discuss the mess in Canada. Should be interesting to see what comes from the face-to-face. In the meantime, Ferrari is bringing its "adjustments" to France and Honda is promising a boost in HP with a new engine for this race and into the future. Should be another race that the Mercs dominate or at least Hamilton widening the championship gap.

F-1 has denied Ferrari's request for a review of the penalty imposed on Vettel in Canada so that issue is done. Hamilton is doing four-wheel slides in FP-2 enough to allow Bottas and Verstappen to blow by him. Should be an interesting qualifying session.

Hamilton was still 2nd in P2 even though he never got his one fast soft tire qualifying simulation run.

When he spun off he came back on track and ruined Dutchie's lap.

But no punishment for him.

I really don't want to pick the top 4 in order of where they started but with Hamilton on pole and Vettel starting 7th there's really not much to pick from here. Maybe Verstappen can get Leclerc at the start or Ferrari messes something up

Hamilton
Bottas
Verstappen
Leclerc

Cannot see anyone challenging Lewis. Cracking pole lap, twice!

AND A FERRARI!

Long run, I think Valterri gets it. He's had pace all weekend.

I shouldn't have tried to be different

snoozer of the year so far

overall this is a lost season for F1. Drivers and Constructors titles are already over with, overtaking is nearly impossible at times

Hamilton wins in dominating fashion as Bottas completes a one-two finish for the Mercs. LeClerc stays consistent with a third place finish followed by Verstappen.
