F1 Race Today: Dutch Grand Prix 2025 start time, TV channel and FREE live stream

Here's how you can watch the 15th round of the 2025 F1 season for FREE as the Dutch Grand Prix takes place today (Sunday, August 31) at 3pm local time (CEST).

Saturday at Zandvoort saw McLaren F1 star Lando Norris top the timesheets for the majority of the all-important qualifying session, but just when it matter, team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri stole pole position.

But celebrations would be premature for the Woking-based F1 outfit given that home hero Max Verstappen will be tucked in behind the McLarens on the second row for lights out on Sunday.

Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar will join him after a surprisingly positive session saw the 20-year-old finish P4 in qualifying, with George Russell set to start ahead of both Ferraris after the Scuderia have continued to struggle this weekend.

McLaren have gone from strength to strength in the constructors' standings this season and now, even the drivers' title looks set to be claimed by either Piastri or Norris, but how will the papaya duo fare this weekend?

Here is what time and where you can watch the Dutch GP for FREE wherever you are in the world.
