How to watch the Miami GP for free:
I’ve been an Amazon Prime member for some time now, enjoying fast shipping, exclusive Prime Day deals, and Prime Video access. Although I rarely use Prime Video, I discovered a way to watch F1.
Sign up for a seven-day free trial of Apple TV+ through Prime Video Channels. F1 is exclusive to Apple TV in the U.S., so this free trial allows you to watch select races this season without cost. The subscription is £9.99 per month after the trial, but you can cancel anytime.
By canceling before the trial ends, you can watch the Miami GP without paying anything.
I understand that paying for Amazon Prime doesn’t make it completely free, but since I’d subscribe regardless, it feels like a win-win. Plus, Amazon Prime offers a 30-day free trial for new users, enabling you to access Apple TV through Prime Video Channels for free racing this season.
If you’ve used this method before, other options include going directly to Apple TV. New subscribers get a seven-day trial. Alternatively, Apple One offers a 30-day free trial, bundling Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness Plus, Apple News Plus, and 50GB of iCloud Storage for $19.95/month afterward.
Purchases of new Apple devices often come with the best Apple TV trial offers. New subscribers can get three free months of Apple TV with eligible Apple products. If you’re upgrading your Apple device, you could enjoy a portion of this F1 season with Apple TV.
