Apple TV’s New Coverage Makes Miami GP the Season’s Defining Opening

The 2026 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix opens the U.S. season with a sprint weekend and a narrow‑plus‑fast layout that forces early battles. Apple TV’s new Multiview, Podium View and 3‑D Maps give fans a multi‑angle, on‑demand view of every session.

Why it matters:

• Sprint format compresses practice into a decisive session, turning Friday into a make‑or‑break test.
• Miami’s tight marina squeezes the field, while the long run to Turn 17 creates a clear overtaking zone.
• Apple TV’s Multiview and Podium View let fans watch lead battles and midfield action at the same time, increasing engagement.

The details:

• Multiview streams up to four live angles – front‑row fight into Turn 17, midfield action through the marina, pit lane and a driver’s view.
• Podium View auto‑switches to the top three cars, so you never miss a decisive move from Russell, Antonelli, Hamilton or Leclerc.
• Apple Maps adds a 3‑D view of the Autodrome and an in‑app “Local’s Guide” that spots nearby bars, viewing platforms and cultural hotspots.

What's next:

• Apple TV will roll out the same suite for the Canadian, Austin, Mexico City and Las Vegas races, standardising the North‑American fan experience.
• Sprint points will shape tyre and aero strategies for the rest of 2026, making Miami a data‑rich weekend.
• The fan‑zone model could become the template for future circuits, blending racing, concerts and local culture.
