Hot Wheels fans, brace yourselves! Mattel Inc. has just dropped some turbo-charged news – a brand-new Hot Wheels Formula 1 (F1) collection is here for 2025, and it’s already revving up some serious hype.
After the roaring success of their first limited-edition F1 car in 2024, which marked the start of their multi-year partnership with Formula 1, Mattel is shifting into high gear.
This fresh lineup, revealed just ahead of the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, is a petrolhead’s dream come true.
The collection features diecast models of eight out of ten F1 teams, all in Hot Wheels’ iconic 1:64 scale. Think sleek single cars, exciting five-pack assortments, and even ultra-detailed premium options.
Whether you’re racing them on those legendary orange tracks or showcasing them in pride of place on your shelf, there’s something for everyone.
Standard & Premium Cars – Built for Fun and Collecting
The standard models are all about action – perfectly optimised for Hot Wheels’ famous track playsets.
On the premium side, things get a little fancy: we’re talking metal bodies, authentic team designs, and even Pirelli-branded tyres. These aren’t just toys – they’re mini masterpieces for hardcore fans and collectors alike.
Among the lineup, you’ll find favourites like Oracle Red Bull Racing, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, and Williams Racing in the Hot Wheels F1 Singles.
At just $1.25 (RM5.50), they’re an absolute steal for racing or collecting. For a bit more variety, the five-pack assortment ($6.25/RM27) includes even more F1 superstars like McLaren, Alpine, Haas, Red Bull, and Sauber.
But wait, the premium series is where things really level up. Priced at $7.99 (RM35), these beauties feature a Metal/Metal build, Real Riders tyres, and insane attention to detail.
Plus, they come with display plinths and snazzy packaging to make them feel extra special.
Track Sets That Bring the Race Home
Ready to recreate the drama of an F1 Grand Prix in your own living room? Mattel’s got you covered with two brand-new track sets launching in August 2025.
First up, there’s the Sprint Race Circuit ($39.99/RM175), which comes with a gas pedal booster, lap counters, and inner track diversions for some nail-biting overtaking action.
But if you want the full-throttle experience, check out the Grand Prix Race Circuit ($74.99/RM328).
This beast features a three-lane booster, manual DRS diverters (yes, really!), and a 25-lap counter – the ultimate setup for any aspiring race champion.
F1 Meets Hot Wheels: Bigger, Bolder, Better
Mattel is taking things up a notch in 2025 with even more involvement in the Formula 1 season.
Expect plenty of trackside activations at selected races, designed to connect the world of Hot Wheels with the high-octane drama of F1.
When Can You Get Your Hands on Them?
The Hot Wheels Formula 1 collection is speeding into major retailers this year, so keep your eyes peeled.
