For the first time, F1 fans in the U.S. will be able to watch the live race simultaneously on both Apple TV and Netflix. Netflix subscribers will be able to stream the full race weekend - including practice, qualifying, and the Grand Prix itself on May 24 - live on the platform.

Content delivery network provider Netskrt's "State of the ISP Survey" found that live sporting events are the global infrastructure's most daunting streaming challenge and that the biggest worry is traffic generated by American football. The long-term study - conducted between May and August 2025 - includes input from 55 global internet service providers (ISPs). Almost eight in ten survey respondents (78%) said sports cause them the most concern related to streaming reliability. Of these, 70% pointed to American football as the most challenging sport to deliver. International football (soccer) is quickly approaching similar levels.

Amazon is now blocking access to apps that have been identified as providing pirated content, including those downloaded outside the tech giant's app store. "Piracy is illegal, and we've always worked to block it from our Appstore," an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement. "This builds on our ongoing efforts to support creators and protect customers, as piracy can also expose users to malware, viruses, and fraud."
