Most comments so far are negative but not really saying why.

I currently pay ~5 € per month for F1TV (65€ per year). It's unlikely that it stays that cheap with AppleTV.

Same for me, I love F1TV content and rather not have third parties involved. Especially a company whose products I avoid (mostly because my mindset is incompatible with their UX design).

I'd totally pay 65€ 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 28€ per month.

Why is it unlikely to stay the same price? Apple could possibly sell it at less profit to incentivize people to switch to AppleTV or other Apple products. Since F1TV has no other services they have to get the full cost out of the subscription and ads.

Also, 3 euro per race is pretty expensive already.
