The French GP slips off the schedule this year, after a four-year return to the calendar at Paul Ricard from 2018-2022, that could mean another lengthy spell on the sidelines.
“The problem with Formula 1 in France is not with the circuit, it’s with the politics,” he told Motorsport.com. “It’s probably the only F1 Grand Prix that’s never had a president come to watch it – except for at Magny-Cours once, when [Francois] Mitterrand attended as part of his political wish for the race to be there.
The French GP is one of the original races from the 1950 F1 World Championship, but the title dates all the way back to 1906. “With Alpine and Renault, they are very strong in F1 right now. But it’s not because of France, it’s because F1 is very strong. If I go to Elysee and speak with Macron, it would be much more useful than lobbying anyone else.”
“The circuit is only 120km from Avignon, and when I was a child I was coming to watch the Formula 1 testing there, and my passion for motorsport grew up on this land.”on the grid.
Either way happy that it's dropped. The circuit was trash and the country government was in constant trouble especially with the Discrimination of Muslims and there right.
Everyone: It’s the circuit. Alesi: It’s not the circuit Everyone: 🤦♂️
So Boullier is out? French GP at Ricard is boring. That is reason enough to drop it Jean!
Truth is almost that this Paul Ricaed track is shit and we have better to offer in France.
It wasn't thst exciting of a track. Plus weren't there lots of issues with getting into the track
