Formula 1’s CEO says Apple is expected to bid for additional F1 streaming rights in more countries after securing exclusive coverage in the United States. Under the US deal, every race is streamed on Apple TV starting this year. Both Apple and F1’s governing partnership report positive results, including strong audience response and subscriber growth, though neither side publishes exact viewership numbers.
The comments come during discussion of F1’s media arrangements tied to Liberty Media, which owns the F1 business. Stefano Domenicali says he is pleased with the US arrangement and expects opportunities to arise in other markets, prompting further negotiations.
Across outlets, the emphasis differs mainly in framing. 9to5Mac focuses on the expectation of Apple expanding rights and links it to the early performance of the US product on Apple TV. The Race similarly highlights the likelihood of rights expansion beyond the US, but stays more directly on the forward-looking prospect rather than the initial performance details.
