F1 and Mattel have officially confirmed that a March 2027 DLC for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush will feature all 22 cars from the 2026 season, marking the first time licensed F1 machinery appears in the franchise. Developed by Milestone, the expansion places these vehicles in the elite Speeder category, a move driven by the strong popularity of the corresponding physical die-cast toy line.

  • Ministry of Sport reports that the new DLC will slot the entire 2026 grid into the game's elite Speeder tier, while F1 chief commercial officer Emily Prazer highlights the massive fan demand for digital versions of the recent die-cast releases. Milestone director Andrea Loiudice also confirmed that the studio is proud to be the first developer to translate official F1 Hot Wheels vehicles into a playable video game format.
