I've only just realised Paul Ricard is on the calendar this year. That's going to feel like quite the come down after Canada, GB and Austria in terms of atmosphere, setting etc.
They still even have Friday and Saturday tickets available, reasonably priced too. Might make for a fun weekend road trip from the UK, given that no-one in their right mind is planning on flying anywhere at the moment. https://www.gpfrance.com/en/official-ticketing/ <<—official ticket site.

Good prices, a road trip with ferry/train crossing for Friday/Saturday would be cheaper than doing the same for Silverstone!https://www.gpfrance.com/en/official-ticketing/ <<—official ticket site.

The sort of spur-of-the-moment thing I’d do in my younger days.
Leave work on Thursday, grab mate, tent, fill the car with petrol and head for Dover! It’s 7h ish, 550km, from Calais, so one sleeps while the other drives, except when you have to wake him up at the Péage gate because you have a wrong-hand-drive car.
Get to the circuit at 7am, just in time for beer and bacon sandwiches, and don’t forget to ask people “avez-vous des billets pour le dimanche?” in your worst, tired French.
Fingers crossed you get to see the race, then pack up the car and do it all again, arriving home at 7am Monday, just in time to go back to work and your colleagues to ask, “so, what did you get up to at the weekend?”
Those were the days!

You presumably think you’re being clever with your selective pictures. Try looking at the pictures from Max’s car which shows Lewis fully alongside Max whose steering wheel is at 90 degrees and turning straight into him. At that point Lewis either hit him or he backed off. He backed off to try and avoid Max’s manoeuvre which was intent on taking him out. It was one of many attempts that season when Max tried to take Lewis out but was the only one that backfired badly on him. All 50g’s worth and fully deserved to someone who remains a menace on the track, as we saw on Sunday with MSC.
Wow, if evidence were needed, this is why you can't have a normal discussion on PH about F1. Verstappen was robust in his defense against Mick just as every other driver is on the grid. If any drivers knows that every point counts in F1 its Max and Lewis. Why would he want to give points away? Why would any driver worthy of a seat in F1 wave a car through?

Giving racing room and not driving the other car off circuit, is not the same as giving up fighting for a place. Max admitted he was prepared to crash rather than give Mick racing room. It's disappointing the stewards didnt step in and penalise his dangerous and illegal driving.Verstappen was robust in his defense against Mick just as every other driver is on the grid.

It's quite incredible how much resistance this pair of images is getting from the Hamilton fan club.
LeClerc on a tighter line than Verstappen was a year before
Hamilton at least six foot wider from hitting the apex a year ago.
It's by no means a scientific proof of anything in isolation, however it's an interesting grenade to lob into a conversation and watch the fanboys reply and grizzle.
Not sure its been mentioned before, but a similarly wounded Max in Hungary last year was slowly catching Schumacher's Haas.
When he was clearly going to get past Mick anyway, Max jinked aggressively to the left to barge Mick further out of the way.
It is this sort of a
hole driving earlier in his career that has made other drivers wary, and is, for the last two seasons, paying dividends.

Did LH and CLC crash? No. LeClerc on a tighter line than Verstappen was a year before

Proof is in the pudding as they say.

To continue the culinary references, Mercedes will be very happy that Paul Ricard is to be visited. Flat as as a crepe. mat205125 said:

Why did you not include frames from the approach to the corner?LeClerc on a tighter line than Verstappen was a year before

If you had you may well have noticed that Lewis was a lot closer to the inside kerb on approaching the corner with Max holding him to that line. That means the apex will be at a different place because the approach angle is different. Also note there is no requirement to hit the apex.
What exactly was your point from posting single isolated pictures? Unless you meant to:
1) Try to start an argument
2) Demonstrate a low level of racing knowledge.
Way off topic. But as this is the active F1 thread right now. I found this amusing. What F1 team should you support: https://twitter.com/vettelpretzel/status/154498705...
Very late to the thread.
We went on Sunday, Absolute fantastic day the atmosphere was electric.
It did however take 7 hours to get back to Manchester, 3 hours stuck in a field, we had circuit car park passes but ended up in the camping fields, the pass said to follow the blue route however there was no blue route to follow, we then got caught up in the queues and one way streets so wasn’t possible to turn back, so a massive thumbs down in that respect unless it was down to us, although there was 4 of us and not one of us could see where we went wrong

People should make their own judgement of that little fact.
