“I am part of a documentary about Cadillac in Formula 1. It’s about the creation, the work on the application, and their path to the first race in March,” the actor explained to F1 TV during testing at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Reeves is no stranger to Formula 1. Back in 2023, he hosted the successful four-part series “Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story,” which was broadcast on Disney+ and the BBC.
Asked what insights he had gained from working on the two documentaries, Reeves was impressed: “How amazing and profound it all is. From the outside, it’s very intense. I mean, when we look at the race car, look at the track, just the technical side, putting a team together, what it takes to have the car, all the elements and then a change in the regulations on top of that.”

The documentary is not intended to start only at the first race. “Since we are telling the early history of the team, even before they entered Formula 1, we are also shedding light on some of the backgrounds of the FIA, FOM, and just this whole world,” Reeves continued.
Dan Towriss, CEO of the Cadillac F1 team, emphasized the importance of this collaboration when the project was announced: “This is a story of bold ambition and relentless drive. We are honored to work with Keanu, whose passion and knowledge of racing run very deep, and we are proud to work with GM on this incredible story.”
According to Towriss, the project offers a great opportunity for the premier class: “We have the opportunity to welcome a new generation of fans to Formula 1, and Keanu’s creativity is the perfect spark to ignite this journey.”
