Carlos Sainz bagged a bonus point during his recovery drive from a back-of-the-grid engine penalty to fifth position in the French Grand Prix.

After pitting for a second time late in the race to bolt on fresh Medium tyres, the Ferrari driver pumped in a time of 1:35.781 to claim the fastest lap.

Sainz's haul salvaged something from an otherwise horrible day for the Scuderia, with Charles Leclerc crashing out of the lead early on.
