    Most comments so far are negative but not really saying why. What would be different compared to now in your country? Or is it just a dislike of the company Apple?

    Officially, I’d have to pay 28€ per month for some pay tv subscription to watch it. The amount of races I can watch (time zones; other appointments) during the season is probably 15 out of the 22 in the calendar. So with 336€ for 12 months and 15 races, I’d have to pay 22.40€ for each race I’m watching. That is totally ridiculous, so I’m watching random free streams I can find somewhere on the internet. Or I’m simply not watching at all, if there is no free stream available.

    I don’t really see this getting worse with any other company or Apple. It could stay just as bad and I’m not paying anyone - or maybe get better.

      I currently pay ~5 € per month for F1TV (65€ per year). It’s unlikely that it stays that cheap with AppleTV.

        I’d totally pay 65€ per year to watch the races! Unfortunately, the F1TV product is not available for me due to exclusive broadcasting rights by Sky. And they don’t have a F1 subscription, but only multi-sport-bundle at 28€ per month.

    I hope part of the deal is that Tim Apple gets to wave the checkered flag at every race.

      And I hope you step on a piece of Lego every night. Now I have nightmares again, thank you very much…
