1.00<\/p>\n
It is the second smallest margin in seconds at the finish of a French Grand Prix. This was the time that separated Juan Manuel Fangio from Karl Kling at Reims-Gueux in 1954. The same margin was observed again on the same circuit in 1961 between Giancarlo Baghetti and Dan Gurney.<\/p>\n
1:28.319 – the fastest lap recorded on the Paul Ricard GP circuit, achieved this Saturday by Lewis Hamilton during his second attempt in Q3. This record beats and replaces the 2018 pole time by more than a second and a half, a time already set by the five-time world champion.<\/p>\n
3: The number of pole positions acquired by Alain Prost on the Var circuit. A performance he achieved in 1983 at the wheel of a Renault, then driving a McLaren in 1988 and 1989.<\/p>\n
The former McLaren driver also holds the record for consecutive wins between 1988 and 1990 on this same Proven\u00e7al track.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n4<\/h2>\n
<\/b>The number of wins by Alain Prost himself. The French four-time world champion is the most victorious driver on his home soil. Despite two other wins elsewhere in France, Michael Schumacher still holds the record for the most French victories to this day.<\/p>\n
It is also the record for consecutive pole positions set by Jim Clark between 1962 and 1965 on the circuits of Rouen-les-Essarts, Reims-Gueux, and Charade.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n5<\/h2>\n
<\/b>The number of French victories at the Paul Ricard circuit. Apart from Alain Prost’s four victories, Ren\u00e9 Arnoux delivered a very fine performance in 1982 by finishing first in the race at the wheel of his Renault. He then surpassed the one who was nicknamed: “the Professor.”<\/p>\n
It is also about the record for pole positions. Held by Juan Manuel Fangio with his performances in 1950, 1951, 1954, 1956, and 1957 on the Reims-Gueux and Rouen-les-Essarts circuits.<\/p>\n
