Verstappen started the race at Circuit Paul Ricard as world championship leader and extended his lead over Hamilton on Sunday. Despite his pole position, Hamilton already took the lead in the first corners from Verstappen, who was unable to keep his RB16B on track in the first corner. Via an undercut, the Dutchman managed to end up in front of Hamilton again, after which the two title competitors pushed each other to the limit. Due to the high speed, both drivers complained via the on-board radio about their tires, which probably wouldn’t last until the end of the race if they kept demanding that much from the rubber.
