Flash McQueen engaged in the Monza F1 Grand Prix!

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cars, Flash McQueen will leave Radiator Springs to take a tour of the legendary Monza circuit during the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix.
Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and… Flash McQueen! The list of stars at the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix 2026 now includes a rather unexpected competitor.
Disney and Formula 1 have officially announced the presence of the Cars hero in Monza, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the first Pixar film, released in 2006. And Flash will not settle for quietly being showcased in the paddock.
The famous number 95 will have a ceremonial lap of the Monza circuit before the Grand Prix held on Sunday, September 6. A true replica of Flash McQueen has been made for the occasion, complete with its red body, number 95, and of course, its famous lightning bolt.
Disney at the Wheel
This appearance fits into the partnership between Disney and Formula 1, launched in 2025 and now extended until 2028. Cars joins this collaboration for the first time, and the choice of Monza is certainly significant for celebrating one of the most famous automotive characters on the planet.
Flash McQueen will not be the only Cars star on the track. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ used as the official Safety Car of F1 will adopt a special livery inspired by the film throughout the weekend.
Of course, Flash will not actually start against the twenty F1 cars on Sunday. But seeing the seven-time Piston Cup champion zoom into the Temple of Speed should be one of the most unusual images of the season.
After all, Monza is the temple of speed. It is speed.
