F1 and Hasbro Launch Monopoly Edition with a Championship Points Twist

Summary
The new Monopoly Formula 1 Edition replaces property buying with a race around the F1 calendar – and there's no £200 for passing Go. Players compete for championship points instead.

Formula 1 has partnered with Hasbro to release a special F1-themed Monopoly edition. Available for pre-order from May 20 and hitting shelves on July 15, the game swaps the classic property-buying format for a race around the current F1 calendar. In a notable twist, players no longer collect £200 when passing Go – instead, they select a favorite team and race helmet tokens around a central track, competing for championship points.

Why it matters:

The collaboration underscores F1's strategy to reach beyond race fans and embed itself in pop culture through licensed products. Monopoly is one of the most recognized board games worldwide, and a tailored F1 edition offers a low-barrier entry point for casual audiences to engage with the sport's competitive structure.

The details:

  • The Monopoly Formula 1 Edition launched for pre-order on 20 May, with a full retail release scheduled for 15 July.
  • Instead of traditional Monopoly rules, players pick their favorite F1 team and use helmet-shaped tokens to move around a central race track.
  • The goal is to accumulate the most championship points, not to bankrupt opponents.
  • F1 Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer said the edition "captures the excitement and competitiveness of the sport in a fun, accessible way."
  • Hasbro's President of Toy and Games, Billy Lagor, added that the project feels "authentic to both worlds," blending "the adrenaline of race day, roaring engines, pit lane drama, and split-second strategy" into a game night experience.

What's next:

The game is expected to appeal to both dedicated F1 followers and families looking for a fresh take on a classic. With preseason testing for the 2026 season already underway, Monopoly's F1 edition provides a playful off-track connection to the championship buildup.
