The 2022 French GP marks the penultimate race before the Formula 1 summer break, and after a gripping outing in Austria, make sure you know where to watch the French GP on TV in the UK, USA and Australia.
Charles Leclerc brought home a dominant victory for Ferrari at the Red Bull Ring, despite Max Verstappen taking pole position and some late issues with his car. Bad luck struck Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz who saw his Ferrari go up in flames when he looked destined for a second place finish.
Red Bull will be hoping to bounce back at the French GP after being outpaced by Ferrari, though it seems Mercedes could also get themselves into the mix with a hot dry race forecast at the Circuit Paul Ricard.
