The 2025 United States Grand Prix is set to start at 8pm BST on Sunday, when Max Verstappen will start on pole at Circuit of the Americas for the 19th round of the season.
The Red Bull driver continued his run of success this weekend, securing pole in qualifying after victory in the earlier sprint race, where he also started on pole.
Alongside him will be Lando Norris, on a mission to turn around McLaren‘s fortunes in Austin, following a disastrous sprint race where he and team-mate Oscar Piastri crashed into each other and retired.
Piastri faces an uphill battle to join the fight from sixth on the grid and maintain his lead in the drivers’ championship. You can watch the race live on TV, or stream the action. Channel 4 will be showing highlights on Monday.
