Canada was Vettel's third win of the season

The roles were reserved in Canada as Sebastian Vettel stole Lewis Hamilton's crown of 'master of Montreal'.

At a circuit were the Mercedes man has dominated so much, it was Vettel's Ferrari that took control, converting a Saturday pole position into an earlier-than-predicted Sunday chequered flag.

One point now separates the two rivals in the race to become a five-time world champion.

There seems no better time, then, to bring back a blast-from-the-past circuit, a place none of the current drivers has won at, to let the battle for F1 supremacy heat up.

The French Grand Prix returns to the calendar - after a 10-year absence - to the Circuit Paul Ricard.

In 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, it was Kimi Raikkonen who was looking to turn pole into victory. The Finn had to settle for second place, external behind then Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa after problems with a broken exhaust.

After two not-so-thrilling races in a row in Monaco and Canada, can France bring back the joie de vivre to the 2018 season?
