A Full Fleet of Ferrari Hot Wheels Are Coming in... Well, Hot
Like many an automotive enthusiast, Hot Wheels were a critical part of my childhood. Now, there's a new level of excitement coming to the tiny toy car universe, because Ferrari is joining forces with Mattel to launch a whole new line of Italian sports car toys.
This is not the first time the folks in Maranello and El Segundo have joined forces, but it's been more a decade since the last prancing horse made an appearance on a miniature scale. But the announcement of this new collection, which was made at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair on January 27, sounds like it may be the biggest collaboration yet.
"The collection will deliver a wide range of Ferrari classics and the newest and most technologically advanced models, including celebrated racing and road cars," a press release for the collaboration reads.
Previously, Ferrari has released the rights for models like the F40, 599X, and LaFerrari to Mattel; this launch, however, appears to focus on a broader picture of Maranello history. Both companies are very tight-lipped about which models will be included in the launch, but we suspect it's unlikely we'll see repeat casting of Hot Wheels and Ferrari's 26 prior collaborations. These limited edition models will come in RC and 1:64 scale die-cast form, and will be sold globally."It was a passion project for the Hot Wheels team to deliver authentic visions of these iconic Ferrari models for the next generation of car lovers to enjoy while, at the same time, creating something extra special for collectors to appreciate," said Roberto Stanichi, executive vice president of Hot Wheels and head of vehicles & building sets at Mattel.
New Ferrari Hot Wheels will be available for pre-order on Mattel Creations this spring. Additional product drops will follow throughout the year and into 2026 as well. We suspect these die-casts will be in high demand, so get your wallets ready for some toy shopping... whether you have kids or not.

Ferrari Driver Punches Competitor's Car in Le Mans Support Race
The Road to Le Mans Race 2 at Circuit de la Sarthe, on Saturday morning, kicked off to a messy start with multiple incidents on lap one, including an on-track altercation between a driver and a competitor's car. The No. 23 Biogas Motorsport Ferrari 296 GT3 piloted by Josep Comadira Mayloa collected the No. 21 AF Corse Ferrari 293 of Gino-Generoso Forgione. Frustrated that his race was over, Forgione exited his vehicle, walked over to his competitor, and began kicking the door and throwing punches at the driver-side window. Forgione was put under investigation for his aggressive behavior in the incident. Ultimately, Lena Buhler and Mattéo Quintarelli in the No. 20 23 Events Racing Ligier JS would hold on to win the race, with Buhler becoming the first woman with a Road to Le Mans overall race win. The No. 2 DKR Engineering Ginetta G61-LT-P325 EVO Toyota won the LMP3 category, with the No. 63 Team Motopark Mercedes Motopark winning the GT3 category that saw the Ferraris out early.

Fred Vasseur knew he'd be ‘exposed' to pressure as Ferrari's F1 boss. Now he's fighting back
MONTREAL — 'It's a different pressure. At Ferrari, the pressure is coming more from the outside.' When Fred Vasseur made those comments at Ferrari's annual Christmas lunch for Formula One media in December 2023, he did so while reflecting on his first year in charge of the sport's most famous team. Advertisement A long, winding career in motorsport had led him to the top job at Maranello, where he was tasked with returning Ferrari to its former glories. Specifically, ending its long wait for another championship. He knew it would take time to get everything he wanted in place. Compared to everything else he'd experienced, the scrutiny and demand for success would be that much greater. Ferrari is Italy. Eighteen months later, Vasseur arrived in Montreal for this weekend's 2025 Canadian Grand Prix, amid the greatest extent of outside pressure yet as Ferrari team principal. Ferrari has lagged behind pace-setter McLaren, despite falling just seven points shy of the papaya team in 2024's constructors' title battle. In the wake of this difficult and disappointing start to the season, reports in the Italian media this week suggested Vasseur was running out of time to turn things around. Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari's star signing for 2025, who relished the chance to work again with Vasseur, a key figure in his junior racing days, emphatically supported Vasseur on Thursday. He called the reports 'nonsense' and made one thing clear: 'I'm here to win with Fred and he has my full support.' The FIA news conference on Friday was Vasseur's chance to address the rumors exactly where Hamilton had sat the day before. And he showed zero sign of backing down. Ferrari technical director Loïc Serra has also faced similar speculation. When the moderator first mentioned the Italian reports, Vasseur smirked. 'I have to stay calm, because I will have to visit the stewards,' he wryly warned in reference to a previous sanction he faced from the FIA for swearing in one of its news conferences. While he did stay calm this time, he made one thing very clear: he was not going to stand for speculation he deemed was destabilizing his Ferrari colleagues. Advertisement 'It's not about myself, because this I can manage,' Vasseur said. 'It's more about the people of the team. To throw their names like this, I think it's just disrespectful for them, for their families.' Vasseur said he didn't understand the rationale, that perhaps it was 'to give s— to the team.' (He noted he wouldn't see the stewards for that particular curse word after the FIA climbdown on F1 competitor swearing.) But he did admit the stories were 'really hurting the team' and suggested that, since the start of the race weekend in Montreal, the noise had been all that had been spoken about. At a time when Ferrari is trying to turn its form around, and the competitive margins remain so fine, this was not energy the team could afford to waste. 'If it's their target to put the team in this situation, they reached their goal,' Vasseur said, referring to the writers of the reports that he acknowledged were from 'some Italian media, not all Italian media.' He added: 'It's not like this that we will be able to win a championship. And at least not with this kind of journalist around us.' Vasseur made no attempt to downplay the disappointing start to this year. After gaining so much momentum through the second half of 2024 to run McLaren close for the constructors' title, and with all the fanfare around Hamilton's arrival in January, hopes were the highest they'd been for some time that a first Ferrari championship of any kind since 2008 was within reach. Instead, Ferrari hasn't looked at all capable of competing for victories. Hamilton's pole and win in the sprint race in China have proved to be an anomaly, not the breakthrough they seemed. The SF-25 car has required an aggressive setup that is hard to get into a good window for peak performance, particularly after its cars were disqualified from the main race in China, due to higher ride height setups the car was not designed for, which were required to get around that problem. 'We didn't do a good job on our side,' Vasseur said. 'We didn't do a good job the first couple of races. We had a disqualification in (the race in) China.' But he did express optimism from the turnaround in recent races, with Charles Leclerc recording back-to-back podiums in Monaco and Spain to help Ferrari overhaul both Red Bull and Mercedes to sit second in the constructors' standings, albeit with just under half as many points as McLaren. Advertisement 'They are still one step ahead,' Vasseur said. 'On some occasions this year, we missed opportunities and we didn't do the same level of job as what we did last year. And clearly we need to improve.' Vasseur carries much of that responsibility on his shoulders, and was always braced to deal with the intense criticism from Italy that often accompanies being the Ferrari team boss. 'I knew when I joined, when I took the position, that you are exposed,' he said. 'This, I think, is quite easy to manage.' Being in charge of Ferrari means this comes with the territory — but he was keen to push back when it concerned the team he was trying to build and those working with him at Maranello. 'These journalists — I'm not putting everybody in the same basket — but they have to consider that these people, they have family, they have wives, they have kids,' Vasseur said. 'And this is completely disrespectful. But now I don't want to speak any more about this.' He sought to draw a line. 'Too much is too much,' Vasseur said, adding that upon returning to Italy on Monday, he would talk to the wider Ferrari team at its factory and make clear the speculation was untrue, even if he was 'not a fireman.' No one at Ferrari would deem the start to this year a success. But there is patience being preached elsewhere. Hamilton has always seen this as a project that would take time to fully realize its potential; his belief still apparently absolute that it can deliver him an eighth world championship. Leclerc, meanwhile, has a long-term contract in place and has been central to Ferrari's future for a long time now. A word that Vasseur has previously used through his stint in F1 when discussing changes within a team or organization is 'inertia.' Whenever change is made, it takes time for the effects to be fully felt. It was only at the end of last year that his senior leadership group, including Serra and deputy team principal Jerome d'Ambrosio (an ex-F1 driver himself), fully came together. Getting a group up to speed takes further time still, particularly in the final year of a regulation cycle where resources are extra stretched, with greater opportunities on offer come the car design rules being overhauled for 2026. Advertisement Another caveat that Leclerc moved to highlight on Thursday when discussing Ferrari's start to the year was just how much of a step McLaren had taken at the front. Yes, being second was 'not good enough' for a team like Ferrari, but the context of the competitive picture in 2025 versus 2024 was important to consider. 'We also need to be careful about everything that is going on around the team, because sometimes that can change the perception of someone's season,' he said in reference to McLaren. 'We are absolutely not happy in the situation we are in at the moment. However, I feel like we just need to find ourselves — just like Mercedes, just like Red Bull. We need to find the outstanding thing that McLaren has found.' The outside pressure that Vasseur always anticipated at Ferrari is really bearing down. But the message in Canada has been unified and strong from the team: the noise cannot continue being a distraction. Because if it does, and it ends up hindering Ferrari's bid to complete its return to the very top of F1, then the scrutiny is only going to increase. And from more than just 'some' Italian media.

AI toys and games? Barbie maker Mattel teams up with OpenAI to create new products
Your next toy or game may be able to converse with you. Mattel, the El Segundo toy maker behind Barbie and Hot Wheels, said Thursday that it's teaming up with OpenAI, which created popular chatbot ChatGPT, to 'bring the magic of AI to age-appropriate play experiences.' The companies are planning to unveil their first product later this year but haven't said what it will be. A person familiar with the collaboration said it will be for people at least 13 years old. While Mattel's products are popular among kids, the company also markets toys to adults. The joint effort between the toy company and major player in artificial intelligence shows how AI is permeating every part of life, including playtime. 'AI has the power to expand on that mission and broaden the reach of our brands in new and exciting ways,' said Josh Silverman, chief franchise officer at Mattel, in a statement. 'Our work with OpenAI will enable us to leverage new technologies to solidify our leadership in innovation and reimagine new forms of play.' Mattel will have to tackle data privacy and security concerns that come with selling kids products connected to the latest technology. In 2015, Mattel worked with San Francisco startup ToyTalk on a doll known as Hello Barbie. The doll connected to the internet through Wi-Fi and could chat with children and even tell jokes. The toy maker also released Hello DreamHouse, which lit up parts of the house in response to voice commands. The recording of voice data required for the toys sparked concerns from security experts and privacy advocates. They worried about data breaches and the potential hackers could use the toys to talk to kids. Both toys were discontinued. Mattel said in its news release that it will 'emphasize safety, privacy, and security in the products and experiences that come to market.' Mattel also makes popular games such as Uno and Apples to Apples. The company sells a game called Pictionary vs. AI in which players draw pictures and AI guesses what they are. Tech companies are integrating AI assistants into other products including smart glasses. OpenAI announced in May that it was working with Jony Ive, a former Apple executive known for designing iconic products such as the iPhone, to release new AI products. Mattel workers are also using AI to create toys. The toy maker is deploying ChatGPT software to help with tasks such as product development. 'With OpenAI, Mattel has access to an advanced set of AI capabilities alongside new tools to enable productivity, creativity, and company-wide transformation at scale,' said Brad Lightcap, chief operating officer at OpenAI, in a statement. ___ © 2025 Los Angeles Times.
