The 2025 Formula 1 season takes a break from its European leg to return to North America for its 10th race of the campaign, the Canadian Grand Prix set to take place on Sunday, June 15.

It was yet another impressive outing for McLaren's Oscar Piastri who claimed his fifth Grand Prix title of the season in Barcelona earlier this month by outpacing teammate Lando Norris and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

Reigning Drivers Champion Max Verstappen has won the last three editions of the Canadian Grand Prix and will look to win it for the fourth consecutive year, hoping to use the race as a platform to bounce back into form this season.

However, Verstappen and Red Bull may have to take a more cautious approach with the Dutchman one-point away from facing a suspension.

The 2025 Canadian Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
