Apple TV Offers Free Bahrain Grand Prix Stream in US
Apple TV is offering the Bahrain Grand Prix free to U.S. viewers this weekend, with the race starting at 3 a.m. ET.
Broadcast coverage begins at 1:50 a.m. Eastern Time. Viewers need the Apple TV app on a compatible device and must be in the United States to watch live. The article says the race can also be watched later on demand. The Apple TV app is available on Apple devices, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, PlayStation, Xbox, Android and other platforms, and the stream can be viewed in a web browser at tv.apple.com. The article notes that F1 on Apple TV usually requires a paid subscription.
Qualifying was held earlier today, and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took pole position for the first time this season. Lewis Hamilton qualified second, and championship leader Kim Antonelli was third. According to 9to5Mac, it is Red Bull’s best chance at a race win so far this year.
The race is named the Bahrain Grand Prix but is being held at Sepang, Malaysia. The article says the Bahrain Grand Prix would normally have taken place much earlier in the season, but it was cancelled because of the ongoing Iran war. Bahrain organizers then decided to sponsor a race elsewhere in the world instead. Sepang is no longer part of the official F1 calendar, but the article describes it as a fan-favourite circuit that should produce exciting action on track.
The article reminds viewers that the stream is free and does not require a subscription. Coverage starts at 1:50 a.m. Eastern Time, and the race is scheduled to begin at 3 a.m. Eastern Time.
