Formula 1 returns to Montreal this weekend after a three-week break, marking an unusual streaming situation. Apple and Netflix have negotiated a rare content swap, allowing both platforms to show the Canadian Grand Prix. Normally exclusive to Apple TV in the US, this race will be simulcast on Netflix, making it the first time Netflix has broadcast a full F1 race live.

The Canadian GP is a sprint weekend featuring extensive racing across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Both Apple TV and Netflix subscribers can access the coverage, though Apple requires a $12.99/month subscription for qualifying, sprint, and race sessions. Netflix offers the race to all plan levels. Free practice sessions are available without subscription on Apple TV.

Apple streams F1 in 4K HDR with surround sound and offers unique Multiview functionality on Apple TV 4K and iPad. Fans can watch multiple angles simultaneously, including onboard cameras and split-screen feeds. The exclusive arrangement also brings Drive to Survive to Apple TV, completing a rare streaming exchange between tech giants.
