F1 Practice Today: Canadian Grand Prix 2025 start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada

The Canadian Grand Prix brings F1 back to North America this weekend, at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Last time out in Barcelona, Max Verstappen was dropped from fifth to tenth due to a ten-second time penalty as a result of ramming into the side of rival George Russell.

As a result, Verstappen is now one penalty point away from a race ban, and if he picks up another penalty point in Canada he will be forced to miss the Austrian GP.

Furthermore, the Red Bull star emerged with only one point due to his penalty in Barcelona, and enters the Canadian GP race weekend 49 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri.

Following a one-two finish in Spain, the Canadian GP could be another dominant weekend for McLaren. But who will come out on top? The current championship leader? Or will Lando Norris be able to fight back?
