The second red flag in qualifying for the French Grand Prix was caused by Mick Schumacher. The young German parked his car in the crash barrier in the final phase of Q1. Several drivers were still on a fast lap, but they could not improve their time anymore.

The dropouts are Nicholas Latifi, Kimi Raikkonen, Nikita Mazepin, Lance Stroll and Tsunoda who caused a code red earlier Saturday afternoon. For Stroll the grapes were especially sour, because a lap earlier he was also working on a fast lap. The Canadian broke off this lap because he normally would have enough time.

George Russell is the lucky driver, because he had a margin of only two thousandths to teammate Latifi. It must be said that the British driver was faster on the road.
