Canadian Grand Prix live stream: preview

Max Verstappen has the chance to pull level with the legendary Ayrton Senna on 41 F1 race victories at today’s Canadian Grand Prix, and though the reigning champion has pole position, the looming threat of further rain could make this a very unpredictable race indeed. It's lights-out for the Canadian Grand Prix at 7pm BST / 1pm ET.

Fernando Alonso starts alongside the Dutchman on the front row, with Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and George Russell behind them. It had looked like Nico Hulkenberg had bagged Haas’ first ever front-row start, but the German was hit with a three-place grid penalty for exceeding the speed limit under red-flag conditions.

As three of the most talented wet-weather drivers in F1, Hulkenberg, along with Hamilton and Alonso, will be holding out for more spray, and considering the thrills and spills of yesterday, we can probably expect to witness plenty of rain dances in the stands at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Featuring long, slipstream-friendly straights and hairpin corners, it’s a circuit that’s built to put on a show, and boy will we get one if Charles Leclerc or Sergio Perez, starting 10th and 12th respectively, are able to weave through the field.

It’s been pure chaos in Montreal so far, so keep scrolling to find out where to watch a free F1 live stream anywhere in the world for the Canadian Grand Prix.

ExpressVPN is our pick of the best VPN services. It's affordable, fast and easy to use. Try it risk-free for 30 days and see for yourself.

How to use a VPN for any Canadian GP live stream

1. Sign up to the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.

3. Then head over to Servus TV on your browser or device and enjoy the free F1 live stream of every Canadian track session.  

You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24-hour assistance. Both performed very well in our tests.
