2022 F1 French Grand Prix – How to watch, start time & more
The 2022 Formula 1 French Grand Prix takes place this Sunday on July 24. Here's how you can watch the 12th round of the 2022 F1 season.
Charles Leclerc will start the race from pole position after receiving a tow from Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz in qualifying. However, Leclerc will not be able to receive help from Sainz in the race itself with the Spaniard due to start at the back of the grid due to a power unit change penalty.
This means Leclerc will have to contend with the two Red Bulls alone, as Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez line up right behind him in second and third respectively.

The 2022 F1 French Grand Prix will begin at 3pm local time (+2 GMT) at the Circuit Paul Ricard.
