As long at they dont block F1TV, this is great. They will invest a lot of cash into the coverage.

4K here we come.

Figure they will not block F1TV otherwise the Lapz app developed for Vision Pro would not work.



I am fine with the change since I already have Apple TV+ thru the Apple One plan. Maybe Apple will not treat F1 coverage as an afterthought like ESPN does.

I'm curious if they will invest to send proper broadcast crews to races around the world. I could almost see them sending a pit lane reporter and then do commentary from a studio based in the states and call it good.

Or they could just take the easy way out and just rebroadcast either sky or f1tv.

I hate to see it go to Apple because I don't have their service and I'm not looking to add another. I already had ESPN. The sky broadcast was fine and I'm not sure I want to go without Crofty.

I agree. Apple took over MLS broadcasting and I think it has really killed viewing numbers to the casuals. If they put F1 behind another yearly subscription, the casual fan will stop watching.

I am assuming Apple will still source it from Sky Sports F1, which means Crofty and company would still be the crew. Am I correct?

That's my assumption as well, since they are bidding on what ESPN currently has the rights for.

T-Mobile gives you Apple TV for free every year, along with basic Netflix, Hulu, and the full MLB plan if you happen to watch another team where you don't live.

Lots more smoke coming today about Checo to Cadillac.

Is it still just smoke or is the announcement coming soon?

They actually have a free 90 day esim trial, which is what sold me. Being able to use their services for free too make sure I wouldn't hate it

the main source was a guy with like 3k followers but it might be one of those cases where a lot of people have the same info but someone posted it first

would make some sense - Checo brings a lot of Mexican Pesos.

Would love to see Checo and Bottas, but didn't Cadillac commit to have an American driver in the lineup?

Jak Crawford could be a sleeper pick. American, currently second in the F2 driver championship, reserve driver for Andretti Formula E, obviously a cheaper option than Bottas.

There's also Ugo Ugochuku , Brad Benivides, Juan Manuel Correa, and one more I think.

I thought that was Andretti who said that, before he was forced out and it became the Cadillac team.

Who is Cadillac replacing next year, or will there be 11 teams?

Should replace RB

We don't need the same number of teams. We need more teams

Cool, seems like a good thing to add another team
Ferg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Their rules allow them to have up to 12 teams.

the mexican market is stronger than the US market for F1 too. As long as there's a Mexican in F1 or F1 talks those fans will show up.
NewOldAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
True. But I could see Cadillac going Checo and an American as the development seat. Until Bottas's signature has dried, who knows.

Is there a list of drivers with their super-license point totals anywhere?

How many Americans actually have enough to qualify.

Found one here (even though license is misspelled):

So not many. If Cadillac really wanted an American they should probably start with some veterans and get whoever they have identified to drive FP1s and TPCs.

Does anyone know how TPC works for a new team like Cadillac? Can they buy or get loaner Ferraris. Or are they screwed until 2028 when they can drive the 26 cars.

I mean, I listed like 4 options above. 3 have current F2 drives and are doing relatively well. If Cadillac wants an American driver, there's decent ones to choose from.

If I was Cadillac I would get in and start supporting Sebastian Wheldon since he is still young and doing really well in Italian F4. I don't see him repeating F4 next year so next up to him is a move to FRECA and hopefully with Prema as they are still a top team there (unlike F2 and F3).

No offense to Crawford but the reality is F2 is such a strange championship to look at most of the time due to the mechachrome'd moments or drivers making insane moves, hence why F1 TPs didn't really give a damn when Ollie Bearman and Kimi Antonelli were doing bad most of the season last year, they signed them instead based on what they showed throughout their junior series career. Crawford is P2 but he ain't better than Dunne, Browning, Lindblad, Martins, Mini, Beganovic. Same thing about Verschoor who is P1, he's been there for like 4 years already.

Regarding streaming services, it doesn't hurt to google for coupon codes.

I've done this for those that I actually pay for when my contracts come up. Sites will pop up offering multiple options that you will just have to plug and try. After 10-15 minutes I've found codes that will work and have gotten annual plans for both Peacock and Apple+ for $20 each. Softens the blow quite a bit.
