Sports broadcasts only arrived this year, with select Los Angeles Lakers games available in a special immersive mode for Vision ProSomething similar for F1 would make quite a bit of sense.
Formula 1 is a visually extremely attractive sport. The speed, the noise, the atmosphere, the close-up shots of the single-seaters are simply appealing to the audience. With a bit of exaggeration, it can be said that if there is a sport that directly demands immersive processing, it is F1. And if Apple really plans to offer live racing in Vision Pro with some level of spatial experience, then the start of the season would be the ideal moment to show it to the media.
Gruber himself admits that this is purely speculation and the timing may be coincidental. On the other hand, Apple it already has the rights, the technology and the platform. Vision Pro plus it needs strong content that shows why it makes sense. And watching the start of a Grand Prix in a mode where you feel like you're standing a few meters from the track would be exactly the kind of demo that could attract. So maybe the question is not if, but when. And March 4th would be from the perspective of Applu surprisingly logical date.
