The 2013 Formula One season is just around the corner starting on Sunday the 17th of March with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. If you don’t want to miss one lap of the action, then there are a few essential F1 apps out there that you’ll need.
Here is a selection of some of the best apps to follow the new Formula 1 2013 season with.
F1 2013 Timing App
This is the official F1 app for iPhone, iPad and Android providing coverage of all three practice seasons, qualifying and the race with the user able to track each driver’s lap times and position on the circuit via the app’s 3D map. You can follow the position of every driver on the track simultaneously so you’ll know exactly where they are during the race. When tracking drivers, you can pan, zoom and spin the map, combine the on-screen map with the live leader board and even rotate your device and watch the full horizontal 3D map of the entire circuit.
Sky Sports for iPad
Sky owns the rights to Formula 1 in the UK this season so you can watch all the action live on your iPad. However, you’ll need to be a Sky box subscriber to do so. Even if you’re not though, the Sky Sports for iPad is worth getting simply because Sky’s coverage of Formula 1 is so comprehensive. Plus you get the added bonus of all the other sports that Sky cover as well, especially their exclusive live coverage of English Premiership football.
