'Our collaboration with Disney is set to be a brilliant one, as we introduce the world of Mickey & Friends to our fans, and vice versa. 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,' Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1 said.
'It's a fantastic match as both brands are known for pushing boundaries and bringing entertainment and excitement to millions, so I can't wait to see what our teams come up with for the circuit and beyond,' she added.
'As we celebrate nearly a century of Mickey Mouse & Friends, our collaboration with Formula 1 offers a unique opportunity to bring two powerhouse entertainment properties together to create products that fans will love,' Tasia Filippatos, Disney Consumer Products President said.
'This exciting collaboration will unfold across a global stage, with unforgettable content and experiences tailored for Disney and F1 fans alike,' she added.
The announcement comes as Formula 1 continues to diversify its audience and aims to expand its global footprint.
Data shared by the sport highlights significant growth among younger demographics, with over four million children aged 8–12 following the sport across the EU and the US.
Moreover, 54 per cent of F1's TikTok followers and 40 per cent of its Instagram audience are now under the age of 25.
The partnership will be supported by a series of integrated campaigns and experiences, with Disney's characters preparing to 'live life in the fast lane' across the Formula 1 calendar from 2026 onwards.

Abu Dhabi Showdown Week welcomes Power Slap 16
Abu Dhabi's sports calendar is packed with big events, from F1 to UFC, and Power Slap is back after its international debut in the city last year. The concept is as simple as it sounds: two people, face to face, trading open-handed slaps until one can't continue. It's intense, it's real, and it's quickly building a devoted following in the UAE capital. $VET Power Slap 16: Wolverine vs. Klingbeil presented by Monster Energy, is Power Slap's sixteenth live event. It returns to the Space42 Arena on Friday, October 24, as part of Abu Dhabi Showdown Week alongside UFC 321: Aspinall vs. Gane. Fans around the world can catch the action live and free on Power Slap's YouTube channel. Inside the arena: slaps, strategy, and spectacle Headlining the night is light heavyweight champion Wolverine, a slap fighting legend defending his title for the second time against Alan 'The Kryptonian' Klingbeil, who is gunning for a spectacular upset. The co-main event promises just as much drama, with super heavyweight contender Dumpling back in the ring after losing his title and undefeated Makini 'Big Mak' Manu aiming to test Dumpling's legendary chin. Power Slap started as a viral sensation, with clips of thunderous slaps spreading across social media. UFC President Dana White recognised its potential and launched Power Slap: Road to the Title in 2023, turning it into a global sport. Abu Dhabi quickly became a natural home for the spectacle. The city's world-class arenas, love for combat sports, and growing international profile made it the perfect stage. Power Slap 9 in October 2024 proved the hype, drawing local fans and global influencers, racking up over 700 million views and cementing Abu Dhabi as a key stop on the slap fighting map. With its mix of raw spectacle, strategy, and pure adrenaline, Power Slap is carving out a niche in Abu Dhabi's sports scene. Whether you're in the arena or watching from your screen, expect a night of slaps that echo long after they land.

Cancer Love Horoscope Those in a relationship should be careful not to idolise their partners. Disillusionment is possible because the real world may not be as perfect as the imaginary one. This could make communication difficult, and there is a high probability of misunderstanding. Singles should be careful when approaching new potential lovers. One should not be blinded as what shines may not be real, and appearances can be deceiving. Leo Love Horoscope The stars rise to shine upon your consistency. Loyalty and devotion are the foundations of your relationships, which is a quality appreciated. However, the stars want you to reveal your passionate side to your partner, be it a spontaneous romantic gesture or a declaration of love. Be open and express how you feel.

Scorpio Love Horoscope Don't let the green eye of envy eat at your heart. Love isn't just for those around you or friends on Instagram and Facebook. Love is going to find you, too, Scorpio. But when it comes to things like buying flowers, getting your favorite dessert or picking up a thing you liked, don't wait for someone else to do it for you. Do it for yourself. Enjoy a special treat like Starbucks, or buy yourself roses. Blast the song, 'Flowers' by Miley Cyrus to get you in the right mood. Sagittarius Love Horoscope In-to-me-see is the true meaning behind the word intimacy. Closeness goes far beyond the physical, so you want to connect intellectually with the person you love. You long for your significant other to truly see you for who you are — and for you to do the same in exchange. It's one of the best ways to cultivate a healthy, flourishing relationship. You can be romantic and not need anything more but their time and company in return. Capricorn Love Horoscope Love brings so much joy, so when a relationship ends, it hurts just as bad. As the saying goes, "Instead of crying because it's over, smile because it happened." You may not want to remember that you had such a wonderful relationship, but the time was truly a gift. It makes you a stronger, better, more vibrant person. Aquarius Love Horoscope Life really can happen, and it can even take away from the time you have to spend with the person you love. Instead of fussing over why you don't get to spend enough time together, see what you can do to improve the situation. Schedule a standing date night. It doesn't have to be expensive but do make it special. Pisces Love Horoscope Your family and culture can influence how you view love and your key relationships. But it might not be easy for others to understand why you feel a certain way, so invest in your relationship by sharing what you feel. Explore your differences and maybe have fun learning about each other's backgrounds to grow a stronger bond in love.
