Disney and WEBTOON are launching Mickey X F1 Racing to the Top on March 6, syncing weekly vertical comic episodes with the real-world Formula 1 racing season.
Disney and WEBTOON are combining forces for an unexpected crossover that bridges family entertainment and elite motorsport. According to a report by IGN South Africa, the upcoming vertical comics series titled Mickey X F1 Racing to the Top will debut on March 6 to coincide with the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. New episodes will roll out on WEBTOON's global platforms throughout the entire racing season, delivering weekly updates directly to mobile screens during race weekends.
The narrative places Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy into the high-stakes world of professional racing. The story follows the Duckburg F1 fan club as they arrive to film a behind-the-scenes documentary, only for the racing team they are shadowing to suddenly collapse. The group steps in to keep the dream alive by filling key roles themselves. They also recruit Jun, a talented taxi driver chasing an F1 career, who promptly discovers his teammate is his estranged sister and ultimate rival, Lia.
For digital comics readers and modern entertainment fans who consume content heavily on mobile devices, this partnership highlights how traditional entertainment brands are adapting to vertical storytelling formats. By syncing episode releases directly with real-world Grand Prix weekends, the series is leaning into live sports fandom and appointment viewing, blending pop culture icons with the dramatic beats of modern motorsport.
