In Pictures: France 2019

Boring race or Masterclass driving by the five-time world Champion? Perhaps a little bit of both, although we felt the Grand Prix was over in a blink, meaning we enjoyed it! Here's a selection of photographs from the French Grand Prix in the South of France.

QUOTES FROM THE PODIUM

I gave it everything. I felt ok with the car but the Mercedes were too quick early on. We did a great job with tyre management and I was catching Valtteri for P2, but ran out of laps
— Charles Leclerc | Scuderia Ferrari | P3
The start was my best bet but Lewis had a good one, too. Ultimately, Lewis was quicker today. He was really strong and consistent - he’s not unbeatable, I just need to work hard
— Valtteri Bottas | Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 | P2
I’ve been racing a long time but it never gets old. I couldn’t do what I do without this incredible team. We’re making history together. I’m really hyped
— Lewis Hamilton | Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 | P1
