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

Here is how you can watch the 16th round of the 2025 F1 championship for FREE as the Italian Grand Prix takes place today (Sunday, September 7) at 3pm local time (CEST).

Saturday at Monza provided electric on-track action as four-time champion Max Verstappen pipped Lando Norris to the top of the timesheets to steal pole position ahead of Sunday's race.

With Verstappen's Red Bull looking uncharacteristically quick around the iconic Italian circuit, McLaren title contenders Norris and Oscar Piastri had to settle for lining up P2 and P3 respectively for the main event.

Home heroes Ferrari have their work cut out for them in front of the tifosi thanks to a P5 qualification for Lewis Hamilton that will be converted into a P10 position on the starting grid thanks to a five-place penalty hanging over from last weekend's Dutch GP.

Charles Leclerc on the other hand is only starting from the second row having qualified P4, but fans of the Scuderia shouldn't lose hope just yet given that Leclerc managed to turn his P4 starting position into a victory at last year's Italian GP.

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