Formula One: Max Verstappen Pips Lewis Hamilton to French Grand Prix Pole

Max Verstappen won the French Grand Prix on Sunday to extend his lead over Lewis Hamilton in the Formula One drivers’ title race.

The Red Bull driver hunted down and overtook the Mercedes world champion with over a lap to go in Le Castellet to claim his third win out of seven races this season.

This was a massive statement by the Dutch driver and his resurgent Red Bull team who win their third successive race after Monaco and Baku.
