Check out the F1 schedule for the Canadian Grand Prix weekend including practice, qualifying and race start times and live streams.

The Canadian Grand Prix brings the Formula 1 season back to North America this weekend.

This will be the 58th running of the Canadian Grand Prix in Formula 1 with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen looking to defend his crown in 2022. He also has a chance to extend his 2023 win streak to four races after taking first in Miami, then Monaco and Spain.

It’s up to the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Georgia Russell of Mercedes, Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin or Charles Leclerc of Ferrari to end Red Bull’s dominance on the top step. A Red Bull driver has won each of the seven races in the 2023 season so far.

Here’s everything you need to know as the F1 schedule continues with race No. 8:
