Qualifying:

Report:

Alexander Albon's engine failure was the last act of a horrible Saturday for Holden.

When the deal for the Paris race was signed at the start of 2017, Anne Hidalgo of Paris promised one of the most challenging tracks in motorsport history. Laughed at when made, this statement has nowadays proven very true.

In a chaotic race, many drivers made unusual and awful mistakes: Sebastian Vettel took himself out of contention with early errors, Dean Stoneman tried his hardest to end his streak of points finishes and Kevin Magnussen cost his boss some points.

One man who failed to make any errors was Pastor Maldonado. The Sauber superstar did not build up a major lead until the first round of stops, but it was never in doubt that he would win the Grand Prix if he kept his stuff together, what he did.

We also had a very interesting midfield battle, as J.R. Hildebrand was looking to get his first career point at the expense of Daniel Ricciardo, who wanted to give Calinetic something to cheer about and managed to do so, keeping J.R. behind.

Race:

Fastest Lap:

Pastor Maldonado – 1:32.536

Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:

Daniel Ricciardo – he gave Calinetic a point at the place where they nearly had their greatest triumph.

Reject Of The Race:

Holden – their star driver failed to get to turn 1 and their other driver suffered a nightmare of a race.
