Get ready to rev up your game night! Formula 1 and Mattel are merging the high-octane world of racing with the timeless fun of UNO, creating a collectible card game experience like no other. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just any UNO deck – it’s UNO Elite Formula 1, a special edition designed to bring the adrenaline of the racetrack directly to your tabletop.
This collaboration marks the latest must-have addition to the iconic UNO family, offering fans a unique way to engage with their favorite Formula 1 drivers, teams, and cars during gameplay. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about playing cards; it’s about collecting them. Fans can snag both a starter edition and a booster set, each featuring all 10 Formula 1 teams, turning every game into a race to complete their collection.
The inaugural release is a collector’s dream, boasting over 100 unique Formula 1-inspired Elite Action cards, available in various colors and special edition foil variations. With a total of more than 1,000 unique cards to collect, this set is sure to fuel the passion of both UNO enthusiasts and F1 fans alike.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this just a clever marketing move, or a genuine fusion of two beloved worlds? The UNO Elite Formula 1 2025 Core Edition Starter Pack and Booster Set are now available for pre-order on Amazon, with delivery promised by mid-December 2025. Other major retailers will follow suit in 2026. The Starter Pack includes 112 cards that play just like classic UNO, plus two exclusive promo cards and four game booster packs, each packed with 10 Elite Action cards featuring drivers, cars, team principals, reserve drivers, circuits, and helmets. The Booster Set adds three more packs of 10 cards, letting players expand their collection and strategize their gameplay.
This partnership is the second high-profile collaboration between Formula 1 and Mattel, following the wildly successful Hot Wheels product range. Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, emphasized the unifying power of UNO, stating, “As a brand, we always want to show up for our fans in new and innovative spaces. I can’t wait for players to bring the competitiveness, drama, and excitement of Formula 1 to this iconic game.” Katie Buford, Vice President and Global Head of Games at Mattel, added, “This expansion brings the thrill of motorsport to the world’s most popular traditional game in a unique, interactive way. Both UNO and Formula 1 have incredibly passionate fanbases, and these partnerships allow us to bridge our worlds.”
But here’s the question: Will this collaboration truly unite fans, or will it divide them between die-hard collectors and casual players? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
