Marvel is revving up the hype engine ahead of this weekend’s Belgium Grand Prix with a thrilling teaser that’s turning heads in both the superhero and motorsport worlds. In a surprise crossover, Marvel has hinted at a collaboration with F1 favorite McLaren, focusing on the iconic Fantastic Four and the fan-favorite “Fantasticar.”
H.E.R.B.I.E. Meets the Pit Crew
In the newly released teaser, we can see Marvel's robotic assistant H.E.R.B.I.E. hard at work, seemingly tweaking a futuristic version of the Fantasticar. Meanwhile, over in the real-world garage, McLaren’s F1 engineers are seen prepping the race cars for drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
While the actual McLaren livery reveal is being kept under wraps until this weekend’s race, the crossover energy is unmistakable.

Not Part of Disney’s Bigger F1 Plan—But Still Big
This collaboration comes at an exciting time. Disney has already announced a larger, ongoing partnership with Formula 1, designed to build more immersive and innovative crossover content in the future.
However, insiders suggest this particular Marvel x McLaren project is separate from Disney’s broader F1 plans—pointing instead to a direct partnership between Marvel and McLaren themselves.
McLaren Is the Perfect Superhero Team-Up
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. McLaren is currently dominating both the track and fan sentiment, widely considered a top contender for the 2025 F1 Championship. Pairing their cutting-edge tech and slick branding with the superpowered brilliance of Marvel’s First Family feels like a match made in superhero heaven.
What Will the Fantastic Livery Look Like?
Fans are buzzing with speculation about what the final McLaren x Fantastic Four livery will look like. Could it include:
- Blue-and-white color schemes to match the team’s iconic suits?
- Reed Richards-inspired tech visuals?
- A hidden H.E.R.B.I.E. Easter egg?
Whether you're a comic book die-hard or a Formula 1 fanatic, this is one reveal you won’t want to miss.
All Eyes on Spa-Francorchamps
All eyes are on Spa-Francorchamps this weekend—not just for race results, but to see the official unveiling of what may be Marvel’s sleekest vehicle design yet. And as excitement builds for Fantastic Four: First Steps, the crossover is already setting the tone for a cinematic and sports-fueled year ahead.
Buckle up. The Fantasticar is about to hit the grid.
