F1 heads into the second half of the 2022 season with the French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard.
Charles Leclerc will lead the field away from pole position – ahead of Red Bull rival Max Verstappen – after Ferrari used Carlos Sainz to give him a tow in qualifying.
But who can get the job done in race trim? Will Mercedes be able to continue their podium run? And can Sainz fight back from his engine grid penalty?
All will be answered when Sunday's 53-lap race begins at 15:00 local time (14:00 BST).
Check out the start times for the French GP around the world below:
