WATCH: Hamilton gets Ricard refresher with tyre test

It has been 10 years since France hosted a Formula One Grand Prix and 28 years since the Circuit Paul Ricard was the location for a Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton, who has obviously never raced the track before, gained some knowledge of it thanks to a Pirelli tyre test.

It's been a while since we raced at Circuit Paul Ricard!
Forgotten the features and flow of this old-school track? ????
