Apple Strikes F1 Deal With Netflix: Will Share Canadian Grand Prix, New ‘Drive to Survive’ Season

In a surprise deal, Apple and Netflix are teaming up for select Formula 1 programming.

The deal will include Netflix simulcasting the F1 Canadian Grand Prix May 22-24 (it will also be on Apple TV, of course), and with Apple TV getting streaming rights to season eight of Drive to Survive alongside Netflix.

Drive to Survive will land on Apple TV at midnight tonight, the same day it debuts on Netflix.

Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior VP of services, announced the deal in a conference call with reporters Thursday.

More to come.
