Hey racing-fan friends! Disney and Formula 1 are officially shifting gears into the next phase of their Fuel the Magic collaboration, and this latest wave of merchandise might be the most exciting one yet. After making a splash at the Las Vegas Grand Prix and continuing the momentum at the Chinese Grand Prix earlier this year, the collaboration is now racing into Montreal for the FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2026 with new collections, immersive fan experiences, and a huge merchandise spotlight on Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck in the world of F1 ACADEMY. Side note before we move on: I am so in love with this feature image in pink and teal, I can’t even explain!
One of the biggest highlights arriving May 21st is the new Disney x F1 ACADEMY collection, blending racing culture with Minnie and Daisyās signature style in a way that feels surprisingly fashionable. The lineup includes graphic tees featuring both characters in F1-inspired race suits, statement hoodies with a reimagined Minnie wheel icon, along with collectible accessories like caps, pins, and keychains in bold pink, purple, and blue tones. This next phase of Disney’s F1 collaboration maintains that feeling of being more streetwear-inspired than traditional Disney merch, and I’ll be the first to admit it, it works. It seems like Disney is recognizing just how much womenās sports, fashion, and fandom are colliding at the moment, and is now more inclusive for a younger generation of racing fans. Are you ready for a little preview of what is on the way?
There are also new additions to the main Disney x Formula 1 collection arriving today, May 15th, including what might be one of the standout pieces from the entire collaboration so far, a varsity jacket covered in Mickey & Friends autograph-style details that honestly feels destined to become a collector’s favorite. A Montreal-inspired capsule collection follows shortly after with more graphic tees, hoodies, and pins designed around the race weekend atmosphere. And yes, Disney has officially entered the pet merch era for Formula 1 fans too, with matching dog accessories joining the collection later this summer.
What I really love about this collaboration is how different it feels from previous Disney sports collections. Instead of a push into traditional athletic branding, Disney has gone all in on personality and fandom culture, especially with the focus on Minnie and Daisy alongside the F1 ACADEMY partnership. It feels modern, colorful, and surprisingly wearable, even for fans who might not usually gravitate toward racing merchandise, like me! Between the varsity jackets, bold accessories, and now a new addition for pets, this might be Disneyās coolest collaboration of the year so far. Let’s go, Minnie and Daisy!
