Canadian Grand Prix 2025: Start time, schedule, how to watch and weather forecast

Russell snatched pole position in Montreal by beating Verstappen by 0.160 seconds to grab the fastest time in qualifying.

Lando Norris could manage only seventh place and starts behind Kimi Antonelli, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve plays host to the 10th race of an enthralling F1 campaign so far that has seen an intriguing title battle develop between McLaren team-mates Piastri and Norris.

The reigning four-time world champion – 49 points behind leader Piastri in the title race – is now just one more penalty point away from an automatic one-race suspension and will hope to avoid any more punishment in Canada, where he has won the last three races in succession.

The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, June 15 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec.

The race is due to start at 7pm BST on Sunday evening, which is 2pm local time in Montreal.

The first practice session took place on Friday evening as Verstappen set the early pace and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc crashed out, with a second to follow from 10pm BST.
