Formula 1's exclusive United States broadcasting partner, Apple TV, has confirmed that this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia will be available to stream entirely free of charge. The race weekend will not require a paid subscription, providing unrestricted access to the entire schedule of on-track action at the Sepang International Circuit. This is part of Apple TV's plan to broadcast specific rounds of the championship and some practice sessions for free in an effort to lower the barrier to entry for fans.
The broadcaster is retaining its full suite of premium technical features for the free stream. The world feed will be delivered in 4K resolution with 5.1 surround sound, the Multiview function will be available, and the Dedicated Data and Podium Multiviews will also remain active.
