Lewis Hamilton absolutely dominated the French Grand Prix, leading every lap from pole position to extend his lead in the Formula 1 championship to 36 points.
Hamilton comfortably defeated teammate Valtteri Bottas in a race without events to mention at Paul Ricard as Charles Leclerc completed the podium for Ferrari, whose lead driver Sebastian Vettel is now 76 points behind Hamilton after finishing fifth the FrenchGP.
Vettel failed to make much progress from seventh on the grid, although a bonus point for fastest lap after making a late pitstop for fresh tyres provided a thin silver lining for the German.
Hamilton held the lead at the start and only edged clear by a small margin over the first half of the opening stint over his teammate Valtteri Bottas.
However, the longer the drivers eked out their medium tyres, the bigger Hamilton's advantage became which he managed without any problems until the end of the French race.
Lewis Hamilton : "I've been racing a long time but it never gets old. I couldn't do what I do without this incredible team. We're making history together. I'm really hyped"
