Disney extends Formula 1 partnership through 2028
Disney has extended its partnership with Formula 1 through 2028. The expanded collaboration will now include Pixar’s ‘Cars’ franchise alongside the existing Mickey & Friends lineup.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of ‘Cars’, the character Lightning McQueen will debut a new livery at the Formula 1 Gran Premio D’Italia in Monza this September. The partnership, themed ‘Fuel the Magic’, includes immersive experiences, social media content, and bespoke merchandise such as apparel and die-cast figures from Mattel.
The new collection was announced at the D23 fan event in Anaheim. Merchandise will be available for purchase at the Disney Store and the official Formula 1 online store, with a global launch scheduled for late August.
