Keanu Reeves has described the “very intense” process of Cadillac‘s preparations for its debut Formula 1 season, shown in a new documentary made by the Hollywood film star.
The American squad is gearing up for its first steps into F1, becoming the sport’s first 11th team in a decade.
Much fanfare has already surrounded the team’s inaugural campaign, with a glossy and expensive advert revealing its striking livery during the Super Bowl.
And now Reeves, a confirmed F1 fan, has been enlisted to be part of a documentary following the team’s build-up to action, having already fronted a 2023 docuseries on Brawn GP’s sensational 2009 triumph, and also featured in a social media video when Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez were announced as its race drivers for the season ahead.
The 61-year-old was spotted in Bahrain for the first week of pre-season, and when asked what understanding he had already gained of Cadillac, he said: “How amazing and profound.
“It’s very intense from the outside. I mean if we look at the race car, looking down the track, just the technical side of it, putting a team together, what it takes to have the car, all of the elements, being a rules regulation change.
“Because we were telling the early story of the team before they even got into Formula 1, some of the background of the FIA, FOM and just kind of that world.”
Dan Towriss, the CEO Cadillac and of TWG, which owns the team said upon the announcement of the documentary: “This is a story of bold ambition and relentless drive. We’re honored to work with Keanu, whose passion and knowledge of racing runs deep, and proud to partner with GM on this incredible story.
“We have an opportunity to welcome a new generation of fans to Formula 1 and Keanu’s creativity is the perfect spark to ignite that journey.”
