Max Verstappen took the win at Circuit Paul Ricard, but the championship leader and his team secured another small victory at the French Grand Prix. Red Bull Racing made the fastest pit stop of the race.

Fastest pit stop for Red Bull Racing

Verstappen's pit crew needed just 2.44 seconds for their pit stop, making the Dutchman the fastest stop of the race. AlphaTauri followed closely behind with a 2.53 second pit stop for Pierre Gasly. McLaren were also right back in the mix, finishing third with Daniel Ricciardo's pit stop taking 2.75 seconds.

The Austrian racing team is thus extending its lead in the symbolic championship, which has so far seen a close battle between Red Bull and McLaren. The Woking-based team has also recorded the fastest pit stop on several occasions this year.
