Report

Background

The race returned to the calendar for the first time since {{F1|2008}}, with Circuit Paul Ricard chosen as the venue. The circuit last hosted the French Grand Prix in {{F1|1990}} before the event moved to the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in {{F1|1991}}.^[3] The race used the {{convert|5.842|km|mi|abbr=on}} layout of the Circuit Paul Ricard for the first time. The layout includes a chicane on the Mistral straight as opposed to the {{convert|5.809|km|mi|abbr=on}} circuit that was used nine times between {{F1|1971}} and {{F1|1985}}.{{refn|name=short circuit|group=note|The French Grand Prix used the short {{convert|3.812|km|mi|abbr=on}} configuration of the Circuit Paul Ricard between {{F1|1986}} and {{F1|1990}}.}}

The race was run in June, filling a vacancy left by the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The race in Azerbaijan was moved to an April date to avoid clashing with celebrations for the centenary of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.^[4]

Drag reduction system

The circuit featured two drag reduction system (DRS) zones. The first was located along the main straight, while the second was on the Mistral Straight on the approach to the chicane.^[5]

Tyres

Tyre supplier Pirelli provided teams with the soft, supersoft and ultrasoft compounds of tyres. They reverted to their narrow tread compound following feedback from the teams in the wake of mid-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Free practice

Lewis Hamilton set the fastest lap in the first free practice session, which was cut short by an accident involving Sauber driver Marcus Ericsson. Ericsson lost control of his Sauber C37 on the approach to Turn 11 and spun into the barrier on the outside of the corner. The car hit the tyre wall at an angle and subsequently caught fire. Ericsson was unharmed, but with two minutes remaining the session was abandoned and the damage to his car so extensive that he was unable to take part in the second free practice session. Several drivers experienced spins during the session, most notably at Turn 6 where an intermittent and gusty local wind caught the drivers unaware as they accelerated away from the apex of the corner. Unlike Ericsson, all of the drivers avoided contact with the wall courtesy of the circuit's unique, abrasive tarmac run-off areas designed to slow down cars that left the circuit.

Hamilton was fastest again in the second free practice session despite having his flying lap interrupted by another red flag. Sergio Pérez lost a wheel as he turned onto the Mistral Straight, prompting race officials to mount an investigation as to whether Force India had released Pérez from the pit lane with his car in an unsafe condition. The session was restarted once Pérez's car was cleared away.^[6]
