This November, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will feature a unique collaboration between The Walt Disney Company and Formula 1, introducing the “Fuel the Magic” experience. The partnership blends Disney’s entertainment legacy with F1’s high-speed spectacle. The campaign will kick off with a live show at the Fountains of Bellagio, offering fans a mix of music, pyrotechnics, and iconic Disney characters. Maestro Mickey Mouse will headline the Bellagio performance, joined by Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and other classic characters. Additionally, the Disneyland Band will open race day with the national anthem. Disney Magic Takes Over the Formula 1 Vegas Strip Tasia Filippatos, President of Disney Consumer Products, said the partnership reflects Disney’s commitment to “storytelling, creativity, and connection,” values that resonate with fans and partners worldwide, as mentioned in the announcement on the official Vegas GP website. She added that bringing together sports, pop culture, and entertainment would deliver “an unforgettable experience for both Mickey and Friends and F1 fans globally.” Disney and F1 will also host a community event in Las Vegas, where Mickey and Minnie will visit local children. Additionally, selected main grandstand ticket holders will enjoy a pit-lane walk experience with the characters, merging racing adrenaline with family-friendly fun. Merchandise and Fan Experiences The “Fuel the Magic” merchandise line launches November 8 at the F1 Las Vegas Hub inside the Venetian Resort, with select items also available on DisneyStore.com. Emily Prazer, F1’s Chief Commercial Officer and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, said the collaboration builds on a shared passion for “storytelling, innovation, and creating memorable moments.” She added that the Fuel the Magic program will unite “two iconic brands” to give fans of all ages a race weekend filled with creativity, entertainment, and a touch of magic. While the Las Vegas Grand Prix collaborations grab the spotlight, main attention remains on the final stretch of the 2025 F1 season.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen holds third with 321 points, keeping the title fight alive.

Behind them, the battle for second place is heating up. Ferrari sits on 356 points, just one point clear of Mercedes on 355, while Red Bull follows closely with 345 points. With only a handful of races left, every upgrade, pit call, and podium finish could reshape the final order.
