A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
With the upcoming release of the F1 movie produced by Lewis Hamilton and starring Brad Pitt, many rumours ar circulating about a potential partnership with McDonald's, which could make you the proud owner of an F1 car.
Not the real thing of course, otherwise it would be a really expensive meal. But with the economic health F1 currently boasts as background, the potential for further increasing those earnings through merchandising for the F1 movie seem to open new doors.
The giant burger and fries chain restaurant is rumoured to be in partnership with the F1 movie to produce and distribut F1 toy cars in their happy meals to further bank on the movie's blockbuster potential.

What does McDonald's say regarding a potential partnership with F1?
The burger and fries franchise has neither confirmed nor denied the rumours that point to a commercial partnership with the racing series. However, there was a tweet that seemed to reveal that the concept of the cars and the cups even were already in advanced stages, if not done already.
If rumours are true the United States, Mexico and Japan would be the three countries that would see the F1 toy cars make it to the happy meals which would allegedly include: a cheese burger with bacon, a side of fries, a soft drink and a F1 car scale replica of of two available models.
