- Scuderia Ferrari
- Uralkali Haas F1 Team
- McLaren F1 Team
- Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team

To accompany all of this news, Psyonix and Epic Games also released a brand new trailer, highlighting the collaboration and the content that comes with it. Below, you can check it out for yourself, courtesy of the official Rocket League YouTube page:
According to Psyonix, this new fan pack is “the beginning of a multi-year partnership,” which means the fan pack will return “throughout the year” alongside future F1 events.
At the moment of publishing, it’s unclear what type of hitbox the Formula 2021 Car has, which of course will determine how relevant it is in the game’s fairly rigid car meta. That said, even if it has a more desirable hitbox, it’s unlikely pro players will break away from the Fennec, Octane, and Dominus to use it.
Rocket League is available — for free — via the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. For more coverage on the free-to-play game and all things gaming — including all of the latest news, rumors, leaks, speculation, and deals — click here.
