Hey followers, Nuked here with some exciting tech news! Let’s dive into the latest about Apple’s racing ambitions.

Apple is eyeing a new challenge: acquiring the rights to broadcast Formula 1 in the United States. This move aims to bolster their investment in live sports, as reported by the Financial Times.

The tech giant already holds deals for Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, and now, it looks to compete for ESPN’s F1 contract, which expires next year. Other bidders are likely to join the race.

This news comes amidst a wave of F1-related entertainment successes. Netflix’s “Drive to Survive” has popularized the sport in the U.S., and live race viewership continues to grow, notably among young women.

Interestingly, Apple recently released a new F1 movie starring Lewis Hamilton, further fueling excitement around the sport. As the sport gains traction, Apple’s streaming ambitions seem poised to accelerate, though they declined to comment immediately.
