Disney and Formula 1 are expanding their “Fuel the Magic” collaboration for the 2026 race season, bringing Mickey Mouse and friends to select Grand Prix weekends around the world with original content, merchandise, and live entertainment. The partnership has since branched into charity, with Disney and Formula 1 revealing custom Mickey Mouse racing helmets for Make-A-Wish.
The partnership builds on the debut at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2025, where Mickey Mouse took over the Fountains of Bellagio. For 2026, the collaboration launches at the Australian Grand Prix in March and expands at the Chinese Grand Prix from March 13 through 15.
Disney and WEBTOON Launch Racing Comic Series
Disney and WEBTOON have created “Mickey x F1 Racing to the Top!” a vertical comics series debuting during the Australian Grand Prix. New episodes will drop on WEBTOON throughout the 2026 season in sync with each race weekend. The series features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy helping a racing team in crisis.
What to Expect at Race Weekends
At participating race weekends, fans can expect “Fuel the Magic” fanzone retail pop-ups with merchandise inspired by each host city, race-specific collections available at the F1 Hub and Grand Prix Plaza (and online at F1.com and the Amazon F1 Store in the U.S.), and Disney entertainment moments featuring Mickey and friends in new racing-themed looks.
Gentle Monster x Disney x F1 Eyewear Collection
Gentle Monster will release the 2026 Circuit Collection, a global eyewear collaboration with Disney and Formula 1. The line includes 8 styles made with lightweight materials, with three designs inspired by Mickey and Friends. Immersive pop-up experiences will launch in Seoul and Shanghai to accompany the collection.
