Keanu Reeves Surprises at the Formula 1 - Keanu Reeves steps into Formula 1 as a documentary producer for Cadillac's 2025 debut
Keanu Reeves has been making waves in the Formula 1 world again. The actor, known for his long-time passion for the sport, recently appeared at winter testing in Bahrain. His involvement goes beyond fandom—he's now hosting and producing a documentary on Cadillac's F1 entry.
Reeves was spotted at Bahrain's pre-season testing in February, looking relaxed in a dark denim shirt, black T-shirt, and sunglasses. His scruffy beard and salt-and-pepper hair drew attention as he chatted with F1 reporter Lawrence Barretto, microphone in hand.
His latest project is a 2025 documentary series on Cadillac's Formula 1 debut, where he serves as both host and executive producer. Reeves has openly praised the brand's entry into the sport, calling it an exciting development. This follows his 2023 role as narrator for Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story, a Disney+ documentary on the underdog team's 2009 championship win.
Despite his growing ties to F1 media, Reeves has ruled out acting in any racing-themed films. He turned down a potential sequel to Brad Pitt's F1 movie, stating he's happy remaining a fan. As of early 2026, no further F1-related projects or public appearances by Reeves have been announced.
The 2025 season kicks off in March with the Australian Grand Prix, though Reeves' exact role—if any—at the event remains unclear.
Reeves' shift from fan to documentary producer marks his deepest involvement in Formula 1 yet. The Cadillac series will arrive in 2025, while his on-screen F1 appearances stay limited to narration and hosting. For now, his focus remains behind the camera rather than in front of it.
