Max Verstappen admits he wanted to disappear from the pole position and drive his race in France, but that it doesn't like that way in Formula 1 and that they had to take risks and work hard to beat Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes.

Five drivers received new examples of engines, turbochargers, MGU-H and MGU-K ahead of the seventh race of this year’s F1 Championship in France and now all drivers are on the second of a total of three engines allowed in the season.

More than a week after the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan, Pirelli published the results of the investigation into the tyre failures on the cars of Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen, and the Italian manufacturer suspects that those were caused by the improper use of tyres that does not comply with their instructions.

Fernando Alonso says he and his team were lucky in the last race in Azerbaijan because they got a chance to make up for a few positions at the restart, but that their pace in the race was not so good and they are working to improve that segment.
