Watch Formula 1 via AirPlay

You can currently watch Formula 1 in the Netherlands via Ziggo (Viaplay will have the rights from next season) or via the official F1 TV app. With the latter you can not only watch the races, but also follow the training sessions, for example. Extra cool is that you can stream the matches to your TV.

All you need is the official F1 TV app, an Apple device and a TV with AirPlay. check? Here’s how to watch matches on the big screen:

Open the F1 TV app on your iPhone or iPad;
Go to the match and choose which camera angle you want to view;
Tap the cast icon at the top right of the screen to send the race to your television;
Voilà, now you can enjoy F1 on your TV.

The quality of the streams is very nice. You watch the races in full-HD with a maximum of 50 frames per second. It used to be only 25 fps, which made the image look less smooth.

Recently, there is also an official F1 TV app for the Apple TV. If you have such a device, you no longer have to cast, but you can also AirPlay the matches to your TV without it. Do you have a Chromecast at home? Then read on our sister site Android Planet how to live stream Formula 1.
