Formula 1 returns to France this week, with the Paul Ricard circuit playing host to the French Grand Prix for the first time since 2019.
The schedule, unlike Monaco, is in keeping with tradition, as Thursday is earmarked for media activities - and for the drivers to get their eye in with a track walk.
Then, on Friday, it's time for the two practice sessions where the drivers will need to quickly refamiliarise themselves with the circuit's testing high-speed corners.
Saturday brings the final practice session before the crucial qualifying hour, with the race held on Sunday afternoon.
