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 28โฌ 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 336โฌ for 12 months and 15 races, I'd have to pay 22.40โฌ 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 โฌ per month for F1TV (65โฌ per year). It's unlikely that it stays that cheap with AppleTV.
I'd totally pay 65โฌ 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 28โฌ per month.
