Formula 1 confirms full 2026 grid F1 team cars for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush’s F1 Car Collection Pack (from March 2027)

Formula 1 has confirmed that all 22 official team cars from the 2026 Formula 1 grid will be added to HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush in a new downloadable content release called the F1 Car Collection Pack, launching from March 2027. The announcement means players will be able to select from the full set of 11 teams and drive their favourite driver’s car within the toy-scale Hot Wheels universe, competing against friends and family. Formula 1 said the pack represents the biggest gaming activation yet between the sport and its Hot Wheels partners, following the collaboration that began in 2024 with a range of Hot Wheels products and experiences.

The content is being developed alongside Milestone, with Mattel also involved through its Hot Wheels brand. Formula 1 said all 22 official F1 cars have been recreated in the game from their Hot Wheels die-cast counterparts, and that the cars will join the Speeder category, described by the partners as the game’s fastest class. The pack will expand the roster of more than 150 vehicles available in HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush.

Formula 1 Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer said the partnership is “keeps evolving” and gives fans the chance to race “their favourite driver’s car” in the video game, while Milestone Publishing Director Andrea Loiudice said Milestone is bringing “the full 2026 F1 grid” to the title as an “exciting milestone.” Mattel’s Erika Winterholler added that bringing the full grid reflects their approach to creating “best-in-class gaming experiences” through partnerships.

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PC via Steam, Microsoft Store and Epic Games Store. The F1 Car Collection Pack will be available as downloadable content from March 2027.
