Future of the entertainment biz is in content rights. With all the cash they have ($160b+ net...) and revamped tvOS, music ventures, etc... they'll probably be buying a lot of IP going forward. Makes sense to be snatching content with international appeal too, stuff that plays well in China and India will earn some good coin

I agree on content rights but why buy the cow when you can buy the rights to the milk? I'm thinking like TV networks that purchase the rights to broadcast a sporting event (or sports league), why wouldn't Apple just do that instead of buying the whole thing?
Perhaps they're buying the broadcast rights and not F1 itself? Or possibly a ploy to keep all of us guessing....
