F1 Practice Today: United States Grand Prix 2025 start times, schedule, TV channel and live stream

F1 returns this weekend with sprint race action in Austin for the 2025 United States Grand Prix.

McLaren won the constructors' title last time out in Singapore, but drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri only finished the race in third and fourth respectively, with the Aussie not best pleased that his team-mate overtook him on lap one.

Glory belonged to Mercedes and George Russell however, after the Brit clinched his fifth career victory at the Singapore GP ahead of rival Max Verstappen, who finished second.

With just the drivers' championship left to play for, could Verstappen and Russell disrupt the McLaren party and continue to steal vital race victories from Norris and Piastri?

Alongside the intensifying title fight, the FIA have declared the US GP a heat hazard on a weekend with double the competitive sessions. As the sprint returns, the grid have one practice session to acclimatise to the heat and the track, before they launch straight into sprint qualifying on Friday.

Here is how you can catch all of Friday's action, wherever you are in the world.
