<Ul> <Li> Valtteri Bottas </Li> <Li> Mercedes </Li> <Li> 1: 34.225 </Li> </Ul> <Li> 1: 34.225 </Li> <P> The French Grand Prix (French: Grand Prix de France), formerly known as the Grand Prix de l'ACF, is an auto race held as part of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's annual Formula One World Championship . It is one of the oldest motor races in the world . It ceased shortly after its centenary in 2008 with 86 races having been held, due to unfavourable financial circumstances and venues . The race returned to the Formula One calendar in 2018 with Circuit Paul Ricard hosting the race . </P> <P> Unusually even for a race of such longevity, the location of the Grand Prix has moved frequently with 16 different venues having been used over its life, a number only eclipsed by the 23 venues used for the Australian Grand Prix since its 1928 start . It is also one of four races (along with the Belgian, Italian and Spanish Grands Prix) to have been held as part of the three distinct Grand Prix championships (World Manufacturers' Championship in the late 1920s, European Championship in the 1930s and Formula One World Championship since 1950). </P>
