A nail-biting showdown is anticipated on Sunday at the Qatar Grand Prix, as three drivers roar into the penultimate race of the season separated by just 24 points.

Lando Norris heads into the weekend's action at the top of the standings on 390 points, with his teammate Oscar Piastri now level on 366 points with Max Verstappen in joint-second place following last weekend's dramatic Las Vegas GP, which saw Norris and Piastri disqualified.

Verstappen's victory in Vegas means the Oracle Red Bull star's hopes of an extraordinary comeback defense of his title remains very much in play, however, Norris needs to outscore his two rivals by just two points this weekend to claim a maiden title win.    

The Qatar GP takes place at the Lusail International Circuit on Sunday, Nov. 30, at 7 p.m. AST local time in Qatar. That makes it an 11 a.m. ET and 8 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 4 p.m. GMT start in the UK. Meanwhile, Australian viewers are looking at a 3 a.m. AEDT start on Monday morning.

The Sprint Race takes place a day earlier on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 5 p.m. AST local time in Qatar. That makes it a 9 a.m ET and 6 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and a 2 p.m. GMT start in the UK. Australian viewers will meanwhile be looking at a 1 a.m. AEDT start in the early hours of Monday morning.

The entire race weekend, including practice sessions and qualifying, will be shown in the US on ESPN's family of TV and streaming networks. Folks who want to follow the whole race weekend will need access to the ABC and ESPN news channels on cable or live TV streaming services, or the ESPN Plus streaming service.

Every Formula One race during the 2025 season will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. All practice and qualifying sessions and all F1 Sprint events will also be broadcast. This race will be carried on ESPN. 

Selected races will also stream on ESPN Plus, featuring two alternate streams for all races (Driver Tracker and mixed onboard cameras).

ESPN's stand-alone streaming service is great for casual fans of F1 and is a must-have for fanatics. It costs $12 a month or $120 a year.

If you're an F1 fan who's also looking to get your Disney fix, the Disney trio bundle (Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus) might be an even better buy. It's great for fans who love catching the parts of the race weekend that typically air on ESPN2 or ESPNews, and who also want the latest Marvel movies or Star Wars shows.

If you're a diehard fan of motorsports and Formula Series racing, ESPN Plus might not be for you, given that it rarely covers F2, F3 or Porsche Supercar racing. That's why ESPN Plus is ideal for casual fans who enjoy catching a race every once in a while or fans who don't want or need all of the extra bells and whistles of F1 TV but want to beef up their coverage options.
