The French Grand Prix marks the mid-point of the Formula 1 calendar with just one more race after this weekend before the summer break.<\/p>\n
Max Verstappen leads the way in the driver\u2019s championship with a sizeable 38-point lead over Ferrari star Charles Leclerc.<\/p>\n
However, the reigning world champion Verstappen hasn\u2019t had it all his own way. Issues with his Red Bull at Silverstone led to the Dutchman finishing seventh, opening the door for a potential comeback from the chasing pack.<\/p>\n
Mercedes continue their upward trend with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell coming in third and fourth respectively in Austria last time out. Neither has won a race in 2022 so far, but you get the feeling that could change in the near future.<\/p>\n

They clearly have the bones of a fast car without the resources to develop as often as they would like to.<\/p>\n Teammate Kevin Magnussen also finished 10th and eighth in the last two weeks and will be keen to remain among the top half of the grid.<\/p>\n Check out our French Grand Prix predictions<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guid<\/b>e<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
