Disney and Formula 1 are continuing their multi-year “Fuel the Magic” collaboration after a successful debut at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2025.

Beginning in March 2026, “Fuel the Magic” will launch at the Australian Grand Prix. The Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled from March 13-15. Season-long journeys will take place across select race weekends with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse offering immersive entertainment and new global product drops inspired by the racing culture and energy of each host city.

Outside the track, Disney and WEBTOON have teamed up to create “Mickey x F1 Racing to the Top” – an original vertical comics series debuting during the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. Runing exclusively on WEBTOON’s global platform, new episodes will air throughout the 2026 race season in sync with each race weekend.

Designed for a new generation of racing fans, the series introduces fresh characters, themes, and high-stakes scenarios blending the creativity and imagination of Mickey & Friends with the drama and teamwork of elite racing.

In this all-new adventure, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy rally together to help a racing team in crisis, proving that friendship and collaboration are always the winning strategy.

Fashion also takes center stage during participating race weekends where fans will see “Fuel the Magic” fanzone retail pop-ups featuring new branded merchandise inspired by each host city. Race-specific pieces and a core Disney x Formula 1 collection will be available at the F1 Hub and Grand Prix Plaza, and online at F1.com and the Amazon F1 Store (U.S. only). Special Disney entertainment moments include Mickey & Friends sporting their Formula 1 fandom in a stylish new way.
