Good news, racing fans: Hot Wheels’ Formula One collection now includes all 10 teams and 20 drivers in 1:64 scale, following the addition of the Scuderia Ferrari and Aston Martin Aramco teams and drivers. At last!
Since the start of the year, you’ve been able to get eight teams and 16 drivers. Which is a bit like building a Lego kit and then finding there’s a part missing. Or getting to the end of a puzzle and finding you’ve misplaced the final piece.
Alas, no more. With Ferrari and Aston Martin deciding to play ball, any budding racers will now be able to channel their inner Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Lance Stroll across the living room floor. Or possibly not, based on their form this season.

As before, you get the choice of cheaper Singles models—from £2.30 (around P178) each—or the Premium diecasts—from £10.99 (around P854) each—the latter featuring a metal body and chassis, authentic livery and driver, plus Real Riders wheels with interchangeable tires.
“With the addition of Scuderia Ferrari HP and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team to the collection, fans of every team on the grid can now experience Formula One in a whole new way, by collecting their favorite driver or playing with their favorite team,” said Ted Wu, global head of vehicles and building sets at Mattel. Good job, that.
“Hot Wheels has always celebrated the most exciting vehicles in the world, and nothing is more thrilling than Formula One. These die-cast cars put the speed, precision, and excitement of Formula One racing right in the palm of fans’ hands.”
Best start writing that Christmas wishlist now…
