Keanu Reeves is present at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix weekend with the Cadillac Formula One team. Reeves has partnered with the sport’s eleventh team to produce a new docuseries.
Cadillac has overcome several challenges to enter the F1 grid, and as a result, the American outfit aims to document its entire journey and showcase it to the world before its F1 Grand Prix debut at Melbourne’s Albert Park in March 2026.
Reeves’ involvement in Brawn: The Impossible Formula One Story gives him the ideal foundation to lead the series as host and executive producer. The Hollywood star brings in his own KR+SH production company to partner with North One to produce the docuseries.
Cadillac has been gearing up for its 2026 F1 debut in full swing, but it has yet to sign two drivers. Senior members of the team’s management have reportedly scheduled talks with various drivers during the British Grand Prix weekend, Newsweek Sports reported.
Dan Towriss, CEO of TWG Motorsports, was present alongside Reeves at the British GP venue. When he was asked about the progress on shortlisting drivers, he told the media:
“There’s a lot of work, you know, a lot of clandestine meetings in dark corners of the paddock and, you know, bars and pubs across the UK, but as we talk to drivers, but it’s, you know, it’s a big effort. These are important seats.
“There’s so many great drivers. I’ve been so impressed with the young drivers, the experienced drivers. I think as Graeme [Lowdon] has said, you know, our team principal, we really are looking at experience, you know, for this first year that’s so important in a new team, but there’s a lot of things to consider, and you know we’re making sure to take our time and do our diligence. But man, what an impressive lot of drivers.”
Valtteri Bottas gave a subtle hint through a recent video, suggesting talks with Cadillac. However, the Alpine F1 team has also reportedly expressed interest in Bottas. When Towriss was asked about the potential competition he could face, he said:
“Yeah, the daggers are out, you know, from that standpoint. Valtteri is a very attractive candidate for, you know, for a Cadillac seat.
“Obviously he’s a talented driver and there are opportunities and you know I think we’re confident in the process and where it’s going to shake out.”
Towriss added that Cadillac wasn’t just exploring F1 drivers, but also drivers from other series such as IndyCar. He said:
“We’re definitely looking at our other drivers as well. We’ve got great young drivers in a Cadillac seat and in IndyCar as well. And so we’ll look at all those things – whether that’s a seat for 2026 or a seat for the future, it remains to be seen. But talent abounds, we love those guys, and we’re going to take a look everywhere.”
Reeves was asked what drew him to tell the Cadillac story. He said:
“I mean, first of all, I’m honored to have the opportunity to be involved in telling the story. It’s a new team starting from the ground up – it’s Cadillac, it’s Formula One – so to have the opportunity to be part of telling that story is just super exciting.”
