The French Grand Prix held on 20th June 2021, for once was the stuff of legend, a titanic battle that had it all as the two top teams and their two finest drivers battled it out across the entire race distance at Paul Ricard. Red Bull's Max Verstappen came out on top, but only after a race that ebbed and flowed and couldn't be called until Verstappen passed Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton for the lead on the penultimate lap. A closely fought affair, both drivers’ skills were gloriously displayed as were the roles of their colleagues in the pits. This time it was Red Bull’s engineers who held the advantage, landing a striking blow on several levels. Verstappen now has a 12-point lead over Hamilton in the championship and with Sergio Pérez also taking third from Valtteri Bottas in fourth, his team a 37-point advantage over Mercedes in the constructors’.
