Also saw an article about how Apple is going to have Dolby Atmos Audio for the US GP

I wonder if that will also be available on the F1TV app.



All right, last chance to update your prediction lists, they will be locked tonight for Singapore!

Good for them. Hope the race works out.

If Apple simulcast why would anyone buy Apple TV?


Bc the network it is simulcast on will pay

People aren’t gonna cancel their subscription bc the USGP is broadcast somewhere else. Apple isn’t losing anything.

Assuming a simulcast payment is worth it for Apple.

If most people watching "for free" on another service aren't going to subscribe then why does Apple cater to them. They want people paying the monthly subscription.

Seems to be working for them

Can already watch it on Amazon/Prime as well.

Why do services offer free trials? To try to stir up interest and get people to subscribe.

If Apple offered a free simulcast would you be likely to pay for their full service?

Because didn't they offer free simulcast earlier this year? Did you jump on an Apple subscription after that?

In-freaking-credible...

Hopefully this will lead to simplification of the "PU", uhh, I mean engine sooner than later.

Was just coming to post after I saw the FIA statement.... They keep stepping on their dicks and its hilarious.

Glad its happening to them especially when they tried to gaslight the initial set of drivers hating on the new regs.

It won't stop the hate on the engine, but this would have been the same as the FIA forgetting to allow DRS until some people had already started their hot lap.

Agree with Sianz. Not sure how the FIA makes it right after fricking it up here.

They'll check the bank account and then forget about it.

Because it is a post sprint quali drivers meeting.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

The GPDA was probably consulted.

I don't think anyone is excusing it, but it doesn't seem like any teams are protesting the outcome.
