After a short break, F1 returns to action in Le Castellet on July 23-25 for the French GP. While not the most popular venue among among fans since it rejoined the calendar in 2018, it did provide a thrilling showdown between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton last year, and could be the scene of another exciting race this time.
High temperatures expected in France this weekend would put more strain on components, increasing the possibility of mechanical failures.
This may well end up deciding the winner of the race come Sunday, with Ferrari in particular having been hit by a series of reliability issues in recent races.
