The Miami Grand Prix may be done and dusted for another year, but motorsport maniacs have a couple more chances to see the F1 stars in their stunning cars on United States soil this year: United States Grand Prix (October 19) and Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 22). However, we are getting ahead of ourselves, as first things first, or next up, we head north of the border for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. The lights go green for the Canadian GP at 2 pm ET on June 15. It’s the 10th grand prix of an action-packed 24-race season that goes through until December and the curtain-closer in Abu Dhabi.
Aston Martin driver, Lance Stroll, who hails from Montreal, is guaranteed a fervent backing throughout the race weekend, and he’ll be keen to improve on his previous best performance of 7th in his home grand prix, which he recorded last year. Stroll, who debuted for Williams in 2017, achieved one pole position and three podium finishes during his time in Formula One.
Oscar Piastri is the man in form, though. He arrives on Canadian soil following his Spanish Grand Prix success, which was his fourth race triumph of the season. It consolidated the Aussies’ lead at the top of the F1 Drivers’ Championship. However, his McLaren teammate, Lando Norris, is breathing down his neck, having only finished out of the top-2 in two of the previous nine GPs this year.

The McLarens look to be going from strength to strength with Norris and Piastri both claiming pole en route to their respective race wins at the Circuit de Monaco and the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The defending 4-time F1 world champion, Max Verstappen, is the only other driver to top the podium aside from the McLaren pair during the current campaign, having clinched victories at the Japanese and Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Despite trailing Piastri and Norris in the standings, Verstappen will take heart from his recent performances at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, where he has won three races on the spin for the Red Bull outfit. The dynamic Dutchman still has a way to go to emulate the memorable Montreal feats of Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton. Both F1 legends roared to victory in Canada on seven occasions apiece.
Let GOAL give you all the important information you need ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, including the full weekend schedule of events and how you can watch and stream all the action live.

How to watch the Canadian Grand Prix 2025 from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the Canadian Grand Prix locally, you may need a different way to watch the race. That's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on race day, by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're travelling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to race action. Most VPNs, like NordVPN, make it really easy to do this.
We highly recommend using NordVPN, but you can also check out our detailed VPN guide for other options.
