Apple and Formula 1® today announced a five-year partnership that will bring all F1 races exclusively to Apple TV in the United States beginning next year.

The partnership builds on Apple’s deepening relationship with Formula 1 following the global success of Apple Original Films’ adrenaline-fueled blockbuster F1 The Movie, the highest-grossing sports movie of all time. United by a commitment to innovation and fan experience, the partnership sets the stage for Formula 1’s continued growth in the U.S.

Apple TV will deliver comprehensive coverage of Formula 1, with all practice, qualifying, Sprint sessions, and Grands Prix available to Apple TV subscribers. Select races and all practice sessions will also be available for free in the Apple TV app throughout the course of the season. In addition to broadcasting Formula 1 on Apple TV, Apple will amplify the sport across Apple News, Apple Maps, Apple Music, and Apple Fitness+. Apple Sports — the free app for iPhone — will feature live updates for every qualifying, Sprint, and race for each Grand Prix across the season, with real-time leaderboards, season driver and constructor standings, Live Activities to follow on the Lock Screen, and a designated widget for the iPhone Home Screen.

F1 TV Premium, F1’s own premier content offering, will continue to be available in the U.S. via an Apple TV subscription only and will be free for those who subscribe...

No results spoilers please...

 

With the increasing number of races being held in the US timezones, particularly late in the season, I'm finding it harder and harder to follow the sport without spoilers. I already have to avoid all news broadcasts and the wider Internet, and now I'll have to avoid buying an iPhone as well.
