Hot Wheels Formula 1 Cars Are Here

Hot Wheels has introduced its new series of Formula 1 cars featuring scaled-down versions of eight teams from the 2025 grid.

The collection is divided into two distinct product lines: basic and premium. The basic line consists of a single diecast mold that includes a halo, air intake, and a rear wing, with each team’s colors and wheel finishes providing the distinctions.

Red Bull, Williams, Mercedes-AMG, McLaren, Alpine, Haas, RB, and Sauber are all represented, with Ferrari and Aston Martin notably absent. Ferrari did recently rejoin the Hot Wheels family, so it's possible the Scuderia is added to the collection at a later date.

Basic cars sell individually for $1.25, and a five-pack runs for $6.25. Distribution varies, with the Red Bull car already on sale, Williams set to hit stores in March, and Mercedes-AMG following in June. The other teams can be found in five-packs, which should be trickling in to stores as well.

Collectors looking for a more detailed option can turn to the premium cars, which feature a distinct body shape, a metal chassis, Pirelli-branded Real Rider tires, and a small driver helmet in the cockpit. There's a car for each team driver. Priced at $8 each, interested collectors can pre-order on the Mattel Creations website or pick them up in stores starting in June 2025.

Hot Wheels will also debut F1-themed track sets. One is the $40 Sprint Race Circuit due August 16, featuring a foot-operated booster shaped like a gas pedal and a Formula 1-branded tower. Another, the $75 Grand Prix Race Circuit, arrives on August 30 with a larger configuration designed for side-by-side passing and a lap counter that can track up to 25 laps.
