A month after the Monaco Grand Prix, Formula 1 returns to the Mediterranean, with the French Grand Prix at Le Castellet, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. According to Brembo technicians, the Circuit Paul Ricard is one of those tracks that make little demand on the brakes.
On a scale of one to five, it has a difficulty rating of two, the joint lowest of the season with Silverstone and Suzuka. It is a very technical track, with medium downforce and high-speed corners like Signes (turn 10), which the drivers take at full pelt and other very slow corners like turn 15.
