Apple TV usage and possible subscription?

I have a question about Apple TV. I want to watch the Formula 1 races, which Apple TV is now going to carry. Can I watch those races, events for free because of my Apple iMac. Or , do I have to pay for a Apple TV subscription to view those races? Can anyone help and shed some light on the subject.

Also, when I click the Apple TV icon on my dock tray, I'm suppose to access a "home". I don't see a home link when open my Apple TV. Can someone explain why I don't see it? Certainly appreciate any help. I've never tried to use Apple TV so I'm completely new to the experience.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

Yes, you will need a subscription to Apple TV to view the races.

As for not seeing the Home tab, post a screenshot of what you see after opening the Apple TV app. On the left side of the app, you should have a sidebar with locations to select, but not sure how it appears on Mac OS 12.7 as seen in your tagline.
