Is F1 on today? Formula 1 2024 schedule, TV channels for next Grand Prix event with Canada next up

The 2024 Formula One World Drivers' Championship is really starting to throw twists, turns and curveballs as we pass into the middle third of the season, after back-to-back-to-back world champion Max Verstappen was blown away in Monte Carlo to record a sixth-placed finish.

Monaco native Charles Leclerc won his first race of the season and recorded a first career win at his home race in the process, with Ferrari and McLaren stealing the show in the showpiece event and both finishing with two places in the top four. It was a day to forget for Red Bull too, with Verstappen languishing back in sixth —
 a rarity for him — and Sergio Perez's crash in the very first lap marking a weekend to forget for the Constructors' Championship leaders.

Perez's first-lap incident saw him caught between the Haas pair of Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen, both of whom could also take no further part following the crash amidst the tight and claustrophobic corners and slipstreams of the unique Monaco street circuit.

Verstappen leads second-placed Leclerc by a healthy 31 points in the Drivers' Championship standings, but with Norris and Carlos Sainz also hot on their heels, winning a fourth-straight title in a row is not going to be an easy ride by any means for Red Bull's flying Dutchman.

Sixth-placed Verstappen was sandwiched between the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in the final grid standings, with the latter's recent improvement in form showcased by Hamilton recording the fastest lap of the race. Another Brit, Lando Norris, finished fourth, with his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri recording a career-best position of second behind Leclerc.

Verstappen may have still won five of the eight meetings held so far in 2024, but after a withdrawal in Australia and photo-finish with Norris in Miami, Monaco was the first real race to show that Red Bull's previously infallible champion is there to be beaten, and beaten well, if the other headline drivers from Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes can get ahead.

Is there a F1 race on today?

There's never been more races in a single season than the 24 slated to be held in 2024, but those meetings will still all take place over a mostly bi-weekly schedule. Therefore, after the conclusion at Monaco there's a few days off, before the 20 drivers head stateside to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, June 9.

Held at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec since 2002, elite motorsport racing has been a fixture in Canada since the early 1960's and the Canadian Grand Prix officially became part of the F1 calendar in 1967. Although the race was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 following the covid-19 pandemic, it returned to the circuit in 2022, with three-time world champion Max Verstappen winning each of the two additions since.

When is next F1 race?

Following on from the Monaco Grand Prix, there's another two-week break before race number nine on the calendar gets underway. We'll be back in North America then, specifically at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec, getting ready for the 59th edition of the Canadian Grand Prix.

Raceweek begins with the first of three practice sessions on Friday, June 7, with qualifying taking place the following day and the race itself starting at 2:00 p.m. local time (ET) on Sunday, June 9 2024. 

Here's how to watch the race across selected areas of the world's major regions:
