The 2024 Formula One season makes a quick hop across the Atlantic this weekend as teams puncture the European swing with a visit to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix, with the season poised at a fascinating crossroads.
Just one victory in the past three races has seen Max Verstappen’s presumed procession towards a fourth world title hit a few speed bumps, and the Dutchman will hope Red Bull can pull themselves out of their slump amid a challenging year.
Charles Leclerc and Ferrari will be chomping at the bit to secure success following a historic win at the Monaco Grand Prix, however, while Lando Norris and McLaren are just as much of a threat following success at the Miami Grand Prix last month.
Throw in the familiar faces of Sergio Perez, Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz Jr. - plus the looming shadow of Lewis Hamilton in the rearview mirror - and there’s plenty of drama at hand for fans in Quebec.
It’s all promising to be another terrific weekend of action, so how can you ensure you see every minute of action on the track? Allow GOAL to guide you through where to watch the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix, including practice, qualification, and the race itself.
