Disney and Formula 1 are kicking off their multi-year collaboration at the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend with appearances from Mickey & Friends, exciting fan experiences, all-new F1 merchandise, and, of course, a dose of Disney magic. F1 is undoubtedly one of the most exciting sports to watch right now, with race viewership and attendance continuing to accelerate in the U.S. and abroad, thanks in part to summer blockbuster "F1 The Movie," three relatively new American grand prix, and the popular Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

I'm walking up the pastel-colored stairs from Squid Game with other journalists in a single-file line, genuinely frightened of what lies before me.

From July 24 to 27, Downtown San Diego transforms into a Disney-powered playground featuring shows from ABC, Disney+, FX, Hulu, 20th Television, and 20th Television Animation.
