OVERVIEW: The schedule for the 2019 French Grand Prix
Nicolás Quarles van Ufford
The eighth round of the 2019 Formula 1 season is set to take place this weekend, as we're gearing up for the French Grand Prix at Le Castellet! Wonder what time all the action will be taking place at Paul Ricard? We have you covered!
The French Grand Prix made a comeback in 2018 after ten years of absence, but rather than going back to Magny-Cours, the venue now is the Circuit Paul Ricard in the south of the country.
As their home race, Renault will come out all guns blazing to impress their home crowd. Can they build on their excellent performance in Canada?
As we head back into Europe for five races in seven weeks, the European time slots are also back. Bad news if you're an F1 fan in North or South America, early starts inbound!
