The French Grand Prix. Max lost the lead to Lewis into turn one when he suffered oversteer and the rear of the Redbull did not settle down at the start of the race. Lewis led until the first round of pit stops then Max undercut the took the lead. 

It was during his stint with the hard tyres that Redbull decided to gamble on a second pit stop. Max took on the hard tyres and started chasing down Bottas and Lewis.

With about two laps left he passed Lewis for the lead and extended his championship lead by 8 more points having also taken the fastest lap.

This win he worked for and it was payback to Mercedes for Barcelona
