Oh, boy! Remember how Mickey said, “Nothing can stop us now”? Well, he’s about to reach all-new speeds with no signs of slowing down. Disney and Formula 1 just announced a new collaboration with Mickey & Friends that will begin in 2026. Yep — that’s an F1 vehicle…with Mickey’s head on it.

OK, Disney fans. So, how can you get in on the action? Disney teased that some FUN new elements will be part of this new collaboration, including new experiences, content, and merchandise around the globe.

We still don’t know much about what Disney X Formula 1 will look like, but Disney teased, “More information will be shared on the activity in the coming months.” Keep your eyes peeled for more information!

If you’ve been following along with the news lately, you’ll know that the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix is fast approaching. The race will take place over 78 laps of the 3.337-kilometre Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo on Sunday, May 25th.

Introducing Disney to the competitive world of Formula 1 will mark an important turning point for the sport. According to Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, “It fits perfectly with our strategy to step outside the world of sport and into a broader consumer market, and in return we’re introducing Disney to our 820 million fans worldwide.”

Formula 1 has a massive fanbase — and it keeps growing. According to Disney, young fans are flocking to F1; data shows that more than 4 million children aged 8–12 now actively follow the sport across the EU and US, and 54% of followers on TikTok and 40% on Instagram are now under 25 years old. Who better to reintroduce to the Disney brand than children aged 8–12?

We’re still waiting for additional details about this new collaboration, but for now, Disney suggested fans should keep an eye on @mickeymouse and @f1 on social media to see what’s planned for 2026.
