The free offering covers every on-track session: Practice 1 and Practice 2 on Thursday 19 November, Practice 3 and qualifying on Friday 20 November, and the race itself on Saturday 21 November — all held under the Las Vegas night sky. Viewers need only navigate to the Formula 1 section on the Apple TV platform, where the Las Vegas Grand Prix has its own dedicated page, and launch the live stream without logging in or subscribing.
The Las Vegas deal is not an isolated gesture. As part of the wider partnership, Apple has also made the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia available for free, collaborated with IMAX on watch parties, and partnered with Netflix on the release of Drive to Survive Season 8.
On track, the race arrives with both championships already settled. Kimi Antonelli claimed the drivers’ title for Mercedes, who also secured the constructors’ crown. Attention now turns to the battle for second place in the drivers’ standings, where Max Verstappen leads on 279 points, ahead of George Russell (262), Lewis Hamilton (261), Charles Leclerc (249), and Lando Norris (246).
In the constructors’ fight, Ferrari sit second with 510 points, followed by Red Bull on 415 and McLaren on 398. The Las Vegas race opens the final triple-header of the season, with Qatar and Abu Dhabi to follow.
