[Saba Sports News] Recently, Hot Wheels has released a product line in collaboration with F1, bringing mini versions of F1 cars to fans. From the leaked images, the initial release includes eight teams, notably missing Ferrari. These miniature F1 cars are in 1:64 scale and feature metal bodies and chassis, interchangeable tires, and custom F1 casting designs. Each car comes equipped with three sets of interchangeable Real Rider wheels, all wrapped in Pirelli brand tires, just like real F1 cars. Last October, F1 established a long-term global licensing partnership with Mattel’s die-cast toy brand Hot Wheels to create F1-themed Hot Wheels products. Hot Wheels has been on the market since 1968, known for its flashy designs and exaggerated shapes, and is characterized by being sold in large box sets. To date, Hot Wheels has produced over 2 billion cars, demonstrating a colossal presence in the industry that is hard for other toy car brands to rival.
