Despite this being a pretty exciting reason with the title race, I just haven't bothered after I wasnt able to renew with f1tv. They offered the product I wanted at the right price. I'm not interested in paying twice as much for a bunch of other stuff I'm not planning to watch.

    I mean, I understand the sentiment, but:

    1. F1TV Pro is $85 per year

    2. AppleTV is $99 per year, which is more, butโ€ฆ

    3. AppleTV gives you F1TV Premium, which is $130 per year on its own, and finally,

    4. you can still use the F1TV app.

    I literally havenโ€™t changed anything about how I watch from last year. Itโ€™s certainly not twice as expensive.

    This is my experience. We already have Apple TV so it saved me money. I still use the F1 app to steam to my TV and keep a tablet open on my lap watching specific drivers like always.

    This was the same for us โ€” we already had Apple TV and I had the MLS pass, so Iโ€™m saving the $85 a year not buying an F1TV standalone subscription. And saving the MLS pricing as well because thatโ€™s been rolled into Apple TV now for no additional cost.
