Alongside him sits Alpine's Fernando Alonso - yes, really - a first front-row start for the double champion since 2012. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz is third on the grid, but his teammate, Charles Leclerc, will start 19th after taking an engine penalty. There was also trouble for Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull, who spun in qualifying and is only 13th. However, there was good news for Lewis Hamilton, who will begin fourth after his best qualifying session of the season, while the Haas pair of Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher are fifth and sixth. Hamilton, clearly relieved to be back near the front of the grid, said that "P4 has never felt so good to be honest." But his teammate George Russell's gamble of switching to slick tires for Q3 backfired, as he spun off and will start eighth. The race starts at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT / 7 p.m. BST today (Sunday, June 19), and there are multiple ways to watch - including some free options.

FREE Canadian Grand Prix live streams How to watch the 2022 F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream for FREE If you're lucky enough to live in Austria or Luxembourg then you can enjoy every second of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream from Montreal for FREE. That's because the free-to-air ORF (opens in new tab) in Austria and RTL Zwee (opens in new tab) in Luxembourg will be showing every session of the Grand Prix. But what if you're usually based in one of those countries but aren't at home for the Canadian Grand Prix live stream? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home? Don't worry - you can watch it via a VPN instead. To take Austria as an option, an Austrian who's currently outside of the country could tune into ORF for Canadian Grand Prix coverage simply by signing up for a free account then using one of the best VPN services. Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), but you'll find others in our best VPN services list.

ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as cable TV replacement services, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV. Our pick of these would be Sling TV: the Sling Orange package costs just $35 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN. Plus, right now Sling is offering $10 off the first month (opens in new tab). As well as being available through your cable service, you can also stream the action via the ESPN app, or on the Watch section of ESPN's website. However, you'll need to authenticate with your satellite, cable or live TV provider credentials to watch any sessions. If you don't want to pay for live ESPN in some fashion or another, your best alternative is F1 TV Pro (opens in new tab). This is F1's own official F1 live stream service, and as with ESPN's own coverage, it uses the feed from Sky Sports F1. F1 TV Pro costs $10 per month or $80 for the season, which is much better value considering there are 22 races this year. Plus you also get Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Supercup races, and F1's archive of classic Grands Prix. And remember, if you're usually based in the U.S. but aren't there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) - meaning you can view the F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream from anywhere in the world. (opens in new tab) If you're not already a Sling TV (opens in new tab) subscriber, you'll want Sling Orange in order to watch ESPN. This costs $35/month and includes dozens of other great channels. Sling also currently offers $10 off the first month.View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab) Love sports? Then check out Fubo.TV (opens in new tab). The channel lineup includes ESPN2 and ABC, plus other top networks including Bravo, FX and MTV.View Deal (opens in new tab) How to watch the 2022 F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream in the UK (Image credit: Shutterstock) As usual, Sky Sports F1 will show the 2022 Canadian Grand Prix live stream, and in up to 4K resolution, with the race itself starting at 7 p.m. on Sunday (June 19). You'll need to be a Sky Sports (opens in new tab) subscriber to watch it: the Sky Sports F1 channel is available for £18 per month, and there are packages available that give you lots more channels for only a bit extra. To follow it in ultra high-definition 4K, you'll need to pay a little more: you'll need a Sky Q set-top box or Sky Glass and a package that includes both Ultra HD and Sky Sports F1. In total, that'd come to at least £45 a month, plus a £20 one-off payment if you're not an existing subscriber. A far cheaper option is to buy a Now Sports Pass (opens in new tab). This will give you all 11 of the Sky Sports channels for a limited time, with pricing starting at £9.99 for a Day Pass and £33.99 for one month. There's no 4K available here, though. Again, if you're usually based in the U.K. but are elsewhere at the moment, you can still watch the services you subscribe to by using one of the best VPN services. How to watch the 2022 F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream in Canada (Image credit: Shutterstock) TSN has the Canadian Grand Prix live stream in Canada in English, while RDS has coverage in French. F1 TV Pro (opens in new tab) also remains an option for fans. All sessions are broadcast on TSN, and if you receive the network through your cable or satellite provider, you can use TSN Go by signing in with your TV service credentials. Cord-cutters will want to check out TSN Direct (opens in new tab), which comes in day- and month-long passes for $8 or $20 CAD, respectively. The TSN app (opens in new tab) will allow you to live stream the race from your phone, streaming box or supported device. Not actually in Canada at the moment? ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) and other VPN services can help you access the services you already subscribe to. How to watch the 2022 F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream in Australia (Image credit: Shutterstock) Fox Sports has the rights to the F1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream in Australia, which means you can watch all the action from Montreal online via Foxtel (opens in new tab). Kayo Sports (opens in new tab) is another option. This service offers new subscribers a 14-day free trial, while one-month subscriptions start at $25 - meaning you could sign up now and watch the Canadian Grand Prix for free. To use either of these services when you're elsewhere you'll also need one of the best VPN services to follow the action from your home country. We highly recommend ExpressVPN (opens in new tab).
