Formula 1, known as Formula One officially, and F1 for short, is an upcoming collaboration in the Disney•Pixar Cars die-cast line by Mattel. The sport is known as the highest class of international racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).[1] In collaboration with Disney and Pixar for the twentieth anniversary of the Cars franchise the Italian Grand Prix in Monza was themed around Cars, with a lifesized model of Lightning McQueen appearing in his Track Vehicle look, as well as the safety car being themed around McQueen's Cruisin' look. A statue of Francesco Bernoulli was gifted to Kimi Antonelli, the Italian driver for Mercedes.
