Layout of the Circuit Paul Ricard in 2021.[1][2]

The 2021 French Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Emirates Grand Prix de France 2021) was a Formula One motor race which took place on 20 June 2021 at the Circuit Paul Ricard, a 5.842-kilometre (3.630 mi) permanent racing circuit in Le Castellet, Var.[a] The 53-lap, 309.690-kilometre (192.432 mi) race was the seventh of twenty-two rounds of the 2021 Formula One World Championship,[b] following the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix and preceding the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix. It was the 61st time the French Grand Prix had been included as a round of the world championship since the inception of the series in 1950.

Max Verstappen qualified on pole position for Red Bull Racing with a lap time of 89.990 seconds, ahead of the Mercedes team's cars of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. On the day of the race the weather was windy and partly cloudy, with an ambient temperature of 24 to 27 °C (75 to 81 °F) and a surface temperature of 33 to 38 °C (91 to 100 °F), and there were 15,000 spectators in attendance. A mistake by Verstappen at the start handed Hamilton the early lead, but Verstappen regained the lead following the first round of pit stops. The Red Bull team agreed to use an alternative strategy, bringing Verstappen in for a second pit stop and dropping Verstappen eighteen seconds behind Hamilton, who reassumed first place.

Verstappen (who had also claimed the bonus point for fastest lap, with a time 96.404 seconds on the 35th lap) went on to win the race after he overtook Hamilton on the penultimate lap, with the newer tyres enabling his car to go faster. Verstappen's teammate Sergio Pérez overtook Bottas late in the race to claim third place. The result allowed Red Bull and Verstappen to extend their respective leads in the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships over Mercedes and Hamilton.

McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo improved upon their starting positions to finish fifth and sixth. This allowed the team to move up into third in the Constructors' Championship standings, passing Scuderia Ferrari, whose drivers both finished outside of the top ten points-scoring positions following issues with tyre wear. Scuderia AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly, Alpine F1 Team driver Fernando Alonso, and the two Aston Martins of Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll made up the rest of the top ten finishers. There were no retirements.[6][7][8][9]
