About GTA Formula 1 and GTA: Promo Videos and Drivers’ Favorite Games

For the second year in a row, developers are launching a themed week with cars in GTA Online right before the Miami Grand Prix (2024, 2025). Formula 1 is responding in kind, although it is more interested in the hype around GTA 6.

Before last year’s race, British broadcaster Sky Sports released a promotional video in the style of a Grand Theft Auto VI trailer. Of course, it featured Tom Petty’s composition “Love is a Long Road” and many attributes related to the famous video game series.

This spring, the same practice was adopted by the French broadcaster of the competition, Canal+.

Additionally, one of the F1 teams joined, releasing a short video that immediately resonated with fans through its visual and auditory elements.

But that’s not all! Just over a week ago, an official video was released on Ferrari’s channel, where team drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc discussed their favorite video games. Together, they agreed that GTA 5 is the best from the prepared list. They also stated that they can’t wait for the next installment and know they need to clear their schedules for its release.
