Mattel has debuted a range of Hot Wheels Formula 1 products, following the launch of the first limited-edition Hot Wheels Formula 1 car in 2024.
The range brings to life eight Formula 1 teams across Hot Wheels Singles, 5-pack and Premium products. Each 1:64 die-cast car is built to race on the Hot Wheels orange track, while the premium cars feature intricate details to replicate an actual F1 car. These include a metal body and chassis, authentic team liveries and Pirelli branded tyres.
The collection also includes the Hot Wheels Formula 1 Sprint & Grand Prix Race Circuit track sets. This sees racers battle to overtake each other on sets equipped with gas pedal booster and a manual DRS diverter.
