F1 live stream: Where to watch Formula One GP races online in 2025
Like the last two seasons here at Business Insider, I'm highlighting various international F1 live streams for every race of the championship, wherever you are in the world. And if you're a die-hard fan looking for the whole race weekend experience, I'll also help you tune into F1 qualifying and sprint events.
This hub has everything you need to know about where to watch Formula 1 live streams each week, with multiple countries covered. And if the race is on at a time you can't make, there are options for full replays and an extended highlights show (usually lasting 90-150 minutes) to help you catch up.
Are there extended F1 highlights later?
In the UK, Channel 4 has an excellent (and free!) extended highlights show a few hours after each race. As with the races, the time can vary wildly to mid-afternoon, early evening, or even later. The length of the show varies and can run from around 70 minutes up to two and a half hours. Tune in on the Channel 4 website online in the UK.
The actual race highlights are often very comprehensive. For example, we've timed one of the longer 2.5-hour shows, which dedicated 75 minutes to the highlights of a race that lasted around 90 minutes in full. The rest of the show features pre and post-race interviews and discussions.
You can also watch these highlights on-demand the day after. That said, we sometimes notice this version is slightly shorter than the usual highlights program.
How to watch Formula 1 live streams in the USA
ESPN has the widest US coverage of Formula 1 racing this season, but some races will be on ESPN2/ABC instead. If you don't already have access to these channels, consider these cord-cutting options, all of which feature in our guide to the best sports streaming services.
Sling TV's Orange tier is usually $46 a month, but a special offer now sees that first month's price slashed to just $23.
DirecTV Stream is another comprehensive option for cord-cutters. It recently introduced a wider range of specific genre bundles, and the MySports option is excellent for F1 fans as it includes all the channels you need for just $69.99 a month.
You'll also find the required channels on Fubo, which has a higher monthly fee, starting at $84.99 monthly after any promotional discounts for the first month. You get a 7-day free trial to start with at least.
ESPN+ is also an option for some races this season. Essentially, if a race is listed as ABC on the schedule, you can assume it will be on ESPN+, too. The US and Canadian races are usually shown here. This is the most affordable paid option for casual fans in the US, at just $11.99 a month.
How to watch F1 live streams in the UK
Channel 4 runs an excellent extended highlights show a few hours after each race, which is a solid free alternative. They even do qualifying highlights a few hours after that wraps up the day before, too.
If you want to see everything live, a Sky Sports deal is your best bet, and this is a great way to get it in glorious 4K, too. Sky has every race weekend, so you won't need to hop around between it and networks like TNT like you do for the Premier League.
If you don't want a traditional TV contract and prefer a monthly option you can drop whenever you wish; Sky's Now TV offshoot has a Sky Sports tier that costs £14.99 for a day pass or £34.99 a month.
The main appeal of Now TV is it runs on a rolling one-month contract, but if you need it every week, it's arguably a better deal to get a proper Sky Sports package as you'll get way more bang for your buck. Also, Now TV is still operating in the dark ages and has the gall to charge extra for 1080p HD in 2025.
How to watch F1 qualifying
All the international streaming options mentioned in this guide for the US and mainland Europe will also show the qualifying sessions each race weekend.
How to watch F1 sprint events
The same viewing options listed above will also cover you for the F1 Sprint events, which usually take place on Saturdays during race weekends. Here's a list of this season's events:
March 22: Shanghai, China - won by Lewis Hamilton
May 3rd: Miami, USA - won by Lando Norris
July 26: Spa, Belgium
October 18, Austin, USA
November 8, São Paulo, Brazil
November 29, Lusail, Qatar

5 drivers who could replace Max Verstappen if Red Bull star gets suspended
5 drivers who could replace Max Verstappen if Red Bull star gets suspended Drama in the closing stages of the race! 😱 Max Verstappen drops to P10 following a 10-second penalty for causing a collision with George Russell #F1 #SpanishGP — Formula 1 (@F1) June 1, 2025 Max Verstappen is teetering on the brink of a one-race suspension following his reckless run-in with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago. The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension. Fortunately for Max, two of his points will expire at the end of June. Unfortunately, he doesn't plan on changing his driving style at all before then. Which means Red Bull must be prepared for the possibility Verstappen is sidelined if he gets assessed another point. So who drives one of the best cars in the world if Max is out? Here's a look at team principal Christian Horner's best option. Liam Lawson The driver of the No. 30 VCARB car would be a natural selection to slot into Max's seat — especially after he impressed Horner in practice last season while driving a Red Bull, leading the team to cut Daniel Ricciardo to make space for Lawson. Isack Hadjar Lawson's VCARB teammate might be the better driver this season, but would Red Bull really consider messing with something that's working so well? Hadjar is ninth in the driver standings with 21 points — compared to Lawson's four — and even the Paris native is worried about what a call-up might look like. 'It's a bit scary," Hadjar said Thursday. "I wouldn't feel ready. I'm just nine races in. It looks to be complicated when I look at Yuki [Tsunoda] and Liam, who are very quality drivers. So no, I'm not very ready, but I would always be here for the call, that's for sure.' Arvid Lindblad Just 17 years old (until August), Red Bull successfully petitioned the FIA to grant the Formula 2 driver a super license prior to his 18th birthday. That might be all the evidence necessary to anoint the rising British star Verstappen's back-up. Per ESPN's Laurence Edmondson: [Lindblad] is being lined up to take part in free practice sessions ahead of the August break, but will now also qualify as a reserve driver for Red Bull and its junior team Racing Bulls. ...Although the application for Lindblad's superlicence was submitted before Verstappen received three penalty points at the last round in Spain, he would present an alternative to current reserve Ayuma Iwasa, who is currently racing in Japan's Super Formula. Ayuma Iwasa Well, this one should be obvious, but if Lindblad is getting approval to race it sure seems like Red Bull is content to leave Iwasa in the Super Formula car. That said, he's still on Horner's roster and remains a solid option. Daniel Ricciardo Could Red Bull's prodigal son return once again and finally get his storybook ending!? No, don't count on it. Ricciardo hasn't been around the paddock at all lately and it would take a lot from both sides to get the veteran race ready. Still, Horner knows him well and knows what he's getting. If he'd rather put an experienced F1 driver in the car rather than an up-and-comer, there are way worse options.

Ted Kravitz Responds to Fiery Max Verstappen Interview
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Sky Sports F1 pundit Ted Kravitz reflected on an intense exchange with Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the lead-up to the Canadian Grand Prix. Kravitz quizzed Verstappen on who decided to give the position back to Mercedes' George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix. After the Mercedes and Red Bull made contact at the race, engineer Gianpiero Lambiase came on the radio and told Verstappen to give the place to Russell to avoid a penalty. The Dutch driver boiled over after receiving the order, purposely hitting Russell when seemingly giving the place back. Ted Kravitz of Sky Sports in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco at Circuit de Monaco on May 22, 2025 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco.

Photo byLambiase did not make the decision, Kravitz theorized, but rather the decision came from someone at the top. During the Verstappen interview, the journalist asked if Red Bull's head of sporting regulations, Steven Knowles, was the person responsible for the decision. "Since Jonathan Wheatley went, obviously, you have Steven Knowles who is doing it," Kravitz said. "I assume it was him who told GP [Lambiase] to tell you to give the place back to George, which wasn't the right call. The stewards later confirmed that. "How are you working that out with him? Obviously, he's not been in the job too long since Jonathan's gone to Sauber. How are you working that out that same situation doesn't happen again?" Verstappen came away feeling Kravitz was trying to throw Knowles under the bus and called out the reporter for the leading question. "I think it's not really nice to try single out a person to be honest, because that's never the case. I think we just look at it as a team," Verstappen told Kravitz. "What we always can do better, and that's also how we look at it in Barcelona. But it's not fair to now single out one single person." Despite Kravitz's repeated attempts to get some information out of Verstappen, the driver made it clear that he was not going to discuss team matters on camera. "If we ever look at things that we can do better, we do that like every other team," the Dutch driver said. "But I'm not going stand here in front of the camera and say who was at fault exactly." Sky eventually ended the interview, but during a follow-up segment, Kravitz clarified what his question meant. "He wasn't in a particularly receptive mood about [the George Russell incident], so I thought I'd go with a question about the team mistake that led to that message in error to give the place back to Russell," Kravitz explained. "I asked him a question that I thought was going to be on his side, and understood his annoyance that set that whole fateful minute and a half off in the first place. "I said to him, 'What are you going to be doing to improve the dialogue with your rules man – a guy called Stephen Knowles, who's taken over from Jonathan Wheatley – to make sure that doesn't happen again?'. "Max either misunderstood it by accident or took a rather over-negative interpretation of what I was saying. "What was I meant to do? Was I meant to say an 'unnamed team representative that deals with the rules?'" Kravitz and Red Bull clashing is nothing new. Red Bull previously withdrew media credentials for Sky Sports due to "unbalanced" reporting in the aftermath of the 2021 Abu Dhabi season finale. The reporter claimed that Lewis Hamilton was "robbed" of the championship, a comment that Verstappen and Red Bull did not take kindly to. Since then, both parties have made amends, though their latest clash might have reopened old wounds.
