Apple’s commitment to enhancing user experience is evident in this integration. The guide is prominently featured within the Apple TV Formula 1 Channel, under the More to Explore section. Here, users can access a curated selection of F1-related content, including:
– F1: The Movie
– F1 Walk & Talk from the Apple Fitness+ Time to Walk series

The Apple Maps guide provides detailed 3D representations of all circuits slated for the 2026 season. Currently, the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit in Melbourne has been enhanced with intricate 3D models. Users can virtually navigate the track, viewing detailed renderings of the paddock area, sports and aquatic center, Lakeside Stadium, and spectator stands. These models are crafted with the same precision as other iconic landmarks in Apple Maps, such as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
This initiative underscores Apple’s dedication to integrating its ecosystem to promote Formula 1. By offering such detailed and interactive content, Apple not only enhances the fan experience but also showcases the synergy between its various platforms and services.
