Apple TV subscribers now have access to the entire eighth season of Netflix's 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' docuseries, marking the start of a major new partnership announced yesterday. This move makes Apple TV the exclusive US streaming home for all Formula 1 races, with the first race scheduled for March 7th. The deal is significant because it involves Netflix licensing the popular F1 docuseries to Apple TV, while Apple will stream a specific upcoming F1 race on Netflix, ensuring simultaneous availability across both platforms.
The new season covers the 2025 F1 season, offering viewers a way to catch up before the 2026 races begin. While the episodes retain the standard Netflix intro and feature a persistent Netflix logo in the corner, the collaboration represents a notable shift in how these streaming giants are sharing content. For $12.99 per month, Apple TV subscribers can stream the full season, though Apple One bundles offer a discount.
This partnership highlights Apple's push to expand its sports and documentary offerings beyond its existing library.
