Formula 1 racing is in Montreal this weekend for the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix. The F1 race is scheduled to run on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET, but qualifying will precede it on Saturday at 4 p.m. Both qualifying and the race will air on ESPN2 and will be available via live stream at WatchESPN.
You will need a cable log-in to stream both events through ESPN. If you don’t have one, you can get a trial from YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream the Canadian Grand Prix weekend.
Qualifying will last a little over one hour and is broken up into three qualifying periods. The first 18 minutes will feature all 20 cars trying to secure the fastest time. The five slowest cars in the first period are eliminated and placed at the back of the race grid. The second qualifying period is 15 minutes and the remaining 15 cars compete for a new fastest time. Once again, the five slowest cars are eliminated to set positions 11 through 15 in the grid. The final ten minutes feature the 12 remaining cars competing for the fastest time to secure pole position.
Max Verstappen is once again the favorite to win at DraftKings Sportsbook with -330 odds ahead of qualifying. He’s -215 to be the fastest qualifier, with Sergio Pérez and Charles Leclerc second at +550, and Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso tied for fourth at +1400.
