Following a long theatrical run and months of availability through digital rentals and purchases, F1: The Movie has now landed on Apple TV, where it can be streamed at no cost. First-time users can also sign up for a seven-day free trial.

The film’s success appears to have extended well beyond ticket sales. Its strong reception is said to have motivated Apple to aggressively pursue Formula 1’s U.S. streaming rights. In October, Apple and Formula 1 announced a five-year agreement that will see every F1 race streamed exclusively on Apple TV in the United States from next season onward.
