Initial reports pegged Apple's F1 deal at $140million per year for a five-year period, but Motorsport.com understands the figure is slightly higher than that, closer to $150m. In any case, it is a huge increase over the reported $90m current broadcaster ESPN is paying, so it is a big boost for F1.

The F1 Circuit comes to the United States today – Sunday, Oct. 19– at Circuit of the Americas in Del Valle, Texas. This race is available on multiple streaming services for free. Today’s race will broadcast live on ABC at 3 p.
