F1 x Disney: new partnership brings the 'magic' to Las Vegas GP

The goal of the collaboration is “blending world-class sports with Disney’s iconic storytelling and an exclusive Formula 1 merchandise line.”

Some of Disney’s most iconic characters — including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto — will make an appearance during the pre-race kickoff event.

The collaboration isn’t limited to this year’s edition — it will continue through 2026 and 2027 as well.

Specifically, the program includes a performance by Mickey Mouse in front of the Bellagio fountains, while the Disneyland Band will “bring its timeless magic to the grid with a special performance of the national anthem.”

As for qualifying, Formula 1 has invited Mickey & Friends “to join a special pit-lane walk and is giving select main grandstand ticket holders the chance to see the teams at work.”

Tasia Filippatos, President of Disney Consumer Products, said: “The Disney brand represents the power of storytelling, creativity and connection - values that resonate deeply with fans and partners alike worldwide.”

Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1 and President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, added: “Our collaboration with Disney builds on a shared passion for storytelling, innovation and creating memorable moments.”
