#3 Lewis Hamilton shows pace for pole
Hamilton’s last victory came in Spain and the Briton would be itching for a race win. Mercedes showed pace during both practice sessions and they are renowned for their party modes during qualifying would give Lewis the edge over the others.
His teammate, Valtteri Bottas, has been close behind him all through Friday, but the four-time world champion would be willing to take risks and give it his all to ensure that another championship title does not slip from his hands.
It would not be an easy task to upstage Ferrari and Red Bull, but the British driver would be running a new engine during the Grand Prix de France instead of nursing an old one like last time around in Canada. The new engine might give him enough of a boost required to claim pole position.
