Apple is reportedly in discussions to acquire the US streaming rights for Formula 1, according to the Financial Times. This move would position Apple as a direct competitor to Disney's ESPN in broadcasting the popular racing series. The potential acquisition follows the strong box office performance of the F1 movie, which has grossed approximately $300 million, suggesting a growing interest in the sport among US audiences. The deal could significantly expand Apple's sports streaming portfolio and solidify its presence in the live sports market.
