Typically, the event would occur earlier in the season, but due to the ongoing Iran war, it was cancelled, and the organizers opted to host the race instead in Sepang, Malaysia. Despite not being part of the official F1 calendar, Sepang remains a fan favorite circuit.\n\nTo watch the event, you'll need to download the Apple TV app on a compatible device, such as an Apple device, Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, PlayStation, Xbox, Android, or any other supported platform. Simply access tv.apple.com in a web browser if you prefer.\n\nQualifying for the race took place earlier today, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen securing pole position for the first time this season.
