This weekend's Canadian Grand Prix live streams greet us at a point in the 2025 Formula 1 season that could scarcely be more fascinating.
There are only 10 points separating McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris at the top of the Drivers' Championship, and a first world champion for the legendary manufacturer since 2008 looks tantalizingly on the near horizon. Piastri has claimed five wins of the nine 2025 races so far including in Spain last time out, but his British teammate is clinging to his rear wing.
They would, of course, be foolish to discount champion Max Verstappen, though. He's still loitering menacingly in their mirrors and has won in Montreal at the last three times of asking. Nobody has won five world titles on the trot since Michael Schumacher. At 49 points behind Piastri, he's very much still in with a chance of matching the German legend. A win for the Flying Dutchman at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve will make his McLaren foes very nervous indeed.
And things certainly didn't all go McLaren's way on Friday. Championship leader Piastri finished 14th and 6th fastest over the two practices, with Norris finally finding some speed to record the evening's second best time. Mercedes' George Russell was the fastest man on the day, with teammate Kimi Antonelli also looking good. Lando Norris bounced back on Saturday, though, pipping Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to the fastest time in P3.
The all important qualifying session is up today (Saturday), ahead of Sunday's race day. In this article you can find out how to watch the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix as it happens. You’ll also find all the information you need on the schedule, race start times around the world, track location, history and more.

Canadian Grand Prix FAQs
So, that's how to watch the Canadian Grand Prix and all the race timings sorted. Now here's some F1 Canada GP FAQs for everything else you want to know about the upcoming race.
Canadian Grand Prix 2025 circuit
The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix takes place over 70 laps of the 4.361-kilometre Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec.
Strikingly set on an island in the middle St Lawrence River, the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is named for Canada's most famous racing driver and father of 1997 world champion Jacques.
The regular tight turns and chicanes don't stop the Canada Grand Prix from being one of the season's fastest. The drivers will be doing their best to avoid being the next victim of the so-called 'Wall of Champions' — the wall on the very last turn that has seen the likes of Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel all crash in to it over the years. Welcome to Quebec!
When is the next race?
The next Formula 1 race after the Canadian GP is the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg. It takes place in two weeks’ time, on Sunday, June 29.
Who won the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix?
Max Verstappen of Red Bull was the winner of the Canadian Grand Prix last year, helping him to extend his lead in the World Championship standings. He was trailed by three British drivers in Lando Norris (McLaren) and Mercedes pair George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.
What is the lap record at the Canadian Grand Prix?
Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas set the record lap at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 2019 with a time of 1:13.078 .
Canada Grand Prix winners
The Canadian Grand Prix has been held since 1961 and so has enjoyed a rich history before Max Verstappen's three wins in a row between 2022 and 2024.
In 2019, Lewis Hamilton matched Michael Schumacher's record of seven Canadian GP victories. Outside of those two legends of the sport, only current world champion Verstappen and Brazilian Nelson Piquet have managed to win here more than twice — both winning it on three occasions.
Gilles Villeneuve is the only Canadian to win the home Grand Prix north of the border — a feat that was beyond his son Jacques — hence why the circuit is now named after him.
