Hmm...I have the app on my iPad, and loaded on my Google Streamer as well as my Android phone. I can access also on my older iMac...No preview in any of those. iPad app has the banner, but no preview videos. Asked a friend if he could find it, not there for him as well. Maybe they're fixing the bug noted below? I also Google searched a link for the previews, but when I log in, it's geo locked and kicks me out. I miss the F1TV app already.
The videos all have varying lengths, and play directly in the Apple TV app as part of a native playlist. So it’s easy to watch one after the other to get caught up on what’s new ahead of the season’s start.
The first Grand Prix of the 2026 Formula 1 season isn’t until March, so expect to see more F1-related offerings in the Apple TV app leading up to that race.
Are you planning to watch F1 in the Apple TV app this year? Let us know in the comments.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle. It provides access to all F1 races, plus Apple Original TV shows and movies.
