Formula 1: How to watch the British Grand Prix on TV and what to know

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) — Here's a guide that tells you what you need to know about Sunday's British Grand Prix. It's the 12th round of the 2025 Formula 1 season.

— In the U.S., on ESPN2.

— Other countries are listed here.

— Sunday: British Grand Prix, 52 laps of the 5.89-kilometer (3.66-mile) Silverstone Circuit. It starts at 3 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET / 1400 GMT).

Silverstone hosted the first F1 world championship race in 1950, just three years after the track was first laid out using a decommissioned World War II airfield. It remains hugely important to the sport, with most F1 teams based nearby in an area nicknamed “motorsport valley.” Last year's British Grand Prix attracted a track-record race-day crowd of 164,000 to see Lewis Hamilton take an emotional victory in his home race. Attendance over the entire week was 480,000, organizers said.

Max Verstappen of Red Bull produced an unbeatable final lap to snatch pole position away from Oscar Piastri, whose McLaren teammate Lando Norris starts third. George Russell is fourth for Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton fifth for Ferrari to make it three British drivers in the top five grid places.

Norris was challenged throughout the Austrian Grand Prix by teammate Piastri but still held on to take the win, with Charles Leclerc third for Ferrari. It was a tough home race for Red Bull as Max Verstappen retired on the opening lap after a collision with Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes. Piastri leads Norris by 15 points in the standings and Verstappen is 46 further back in third.

9 — Lewis Hamilton's ninth British Grand Prix triumph last year set an F1 record for most wins by one driver at the same track. That broke a tie with Michael Schumacher, who won eight times at the French circuit Magny-Cours.

7 — Norris and Piastri are back level on seven career wins each following Norris' victory in Austria.

31 — Verstappen had scored points in 31 consecutive Grands Prix until his first-lap retirement at the Red Bull Ring.

“I can see a proper battle. Even in the long runs, there were a lot of cars that were quick. Even in qualifying, it was all quite tight.” — Max Verstappen.

“I think it’s going to be a pretty evenly paced race tomorrow, and all of us have got slightly different strengths. Red Bull is very quick in a straight line, we’re going to be quick in the high speed. It’s going to be a fun one.” — Oscar Piastri.

“Here is definitely high-speed, and it’s probably highlighted a few more of our weaknesses.” — Lando Norris.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs added Edward Cabrera to their rotation on Wednesday, acquiring the right-hander in a trade with the Miami Marlins in their first major offseason move.

Chicago sent outfielder Owen Caissie and infield prospects Cristian Hernandez and Edgardo De Leon to Miami for Cabrera, who went 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA in a career-high 26 starts and 137 2/3 innings last year.

Caissie, 23, could compete for a starting job with the Marlins after making his major league debut in August. Caissie, a second-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft, hit .192 in 12 games with the Cubs, but he batted .286 with 22 homers and 55 RBIs with Triple-A Iowa last season.

Cabrera is eligible for arbitration and cannot become a free agent until after the 2028 season.

The Cubs finished second in the NL Central last year with a 92-70 record. They made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2020 before they were eliminated by Milwaukee in a five-game NL Division Series.

Cabrera, who turns 28 in April, joins a deep rotation that also includes Matthew Boyd, Shota Imanaga, Cade Horton and Jameson Taillon. Colin Rea and Javier Assad are two more starting options, and Justin Steele is coming back from left elbow surgery on April 18.

The 6-foot-5 Cabrera made his major league debut with Miami in 2021. He is 25-29 with a 4.07 ERA in 87 career starts and two relief appearances.

Cabrera arrives in Chicago with some injury concerns, including recurring blisters on his right middle finger. He also was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sept. 1 with a right elbow sprain. He returned on Sept. 23 and pitched five shutout innings against the New York Mets in his final start of the season on Sept. 28.

While the addition of Cabrera strengthens Chicago’s rotation, Caissie was expected to compete for time in right field. Kyle Tucker is expected to leave the Cubs in free agency.

Miami went 79-83 in its first season under manager Clayton McCullough, a 17-game improvement from its last-place finish in 2024. Sandy Alcantara and Eury Pérez lead the team’s rotation.

Hernandez, 22, batted .252 with seven homers and 53 RBIs for High A South Bend last year. De Leon, 18, played for the Cubs’ team in the Arizona Complex League in 2025, hitting .276 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 43 games.

Also Wednesday, the Cubs claimed left-hander Ryan Rolison off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. Rolison made his big league debut with Colorado in May.
