Alex Perry • 20 May 2025
🏁 Disney and Formula 1 Team Up for a Magical 2026 Collaboration! ✨🏎️
Hold on to your ears (and helmets!) because Disney and Formula 1 have just announced an exciting new collaboration that’s racing into our lives in 2026 – and it stars none other than Mickey Mouse and friends!
This spellbinding partnership will blend the heart-racing world of Formula 1 with the timeless charm of Disney, bringing fans across the globe a thrilling mix of entertainment, storytelling, and speed. 🎬⚡
🎉 What’s the Magic Behind the Wheel?
Unveiled at the Las Vegas Grand Prix Plaza, the announcement showcased a stunning, Mickey-themed Formula 1 car. Featuring bold black with red and yellow highlights, the design nods to Mickey’s classic look – and yes, there are subtle Mickey Mouse icons on the wings! 🖤❤️💛
Disney Consumer Products President Tasia Filippatos joined F1 Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer for the big reveal, alongside the mouse that started it all – Mickey himself!
🎙️ Here’s What They Had to Say:
Tasia Filippatos shared:
“As we celebrate nearly a century of Mickey Mouse & Friends, our collaboration with Formula 1 offers a unique opportunity to bring two powerhouse entertainment properties together to create products that fans will love.”
Emily Prazer added:
“This is a brilliant match. We’re stepping outside the world of sport and into a broader entertainment space – and in return, Disney is reaching our 820 million global fans. Both brands push boundaries, and together, we’re creating something truly unforgettable.”
👦👧 Reaching a New Generation of Fans
Formula 1 has seen an incredible rise in popularity among younger audiences. In fact, over 4 million children aged 8–12 now follow the sport across the EU and US, and 54% of F1's TikTok fans are under 25. This new collaboration couldn’t be better timed to inspire the next generation of Disney dreamers and F1 enthusiasts alike.
🔜 What’s Coming?
While full details are still under wraps, fans can expect exclusive merchandise, imaginative content, and one-of-a-kind experiences that bring Disney magic to the F1 stage. Keep your eyes on @mickeymouse and @f1 across social platforms for all the upcoming reveals!
This truly is a partnership built on creativity, innovation, and the love of storytelling and sport – and we can’t wait to see where the road takes us.
