Racing fans in the United States have a major reason to celebrate this week. The upcoming Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be available to watch entirely for free. You will not need an active Apple TV subscription to catch the high speed action. The tech giant confirmed that anyone can tune into the weekend broadcasts through the company’s streaming application without paying an entry fee.
Users can stream the night race across multiple device platforms
As the exclusive broadcast partner for Formula 1 in the United States, Apple normally requires a subscription to watch the full racing season live and on demand. However, select events like this Las Vegas night race are being opened up to the general public. Viewers can expect a visually stunning broadcast that highlights the famous neon lit atmosphere of the city.
You can find all the free coverage inside the dedicated Formula 1 hub on the streaming app. This software is widely available across an iPhone or an iPad for mobile viewing. If you prefer a larger screen, you can also load it up on a Mac computer or watch via a web browser. The app even works on an Android device, as well as popular gaming consoles like Xbox and PlayStation.
