World championship leader Max Verstappen set the quickest time in practice for the French Grand Prix at Circuit Paul Ricard on Friday but the Red Bull driver was only marginally faster than the two Mercedes cars.


The Dutchman was just 0.008 seconds ahead of Valtteri Bottas, who had topped the first session, with Lewis Hamilton only 0.253secs off the pace. 


Verstappen improved his time in the second session with a switch to soft tyres while Bottas set his best time on the mediums. “It’s been a good end to the day and we improved quite well,” said Verstappen. “It’s still really difficult around here as the track is so open.”
