Cadillac F1 documentary to debut ahead of 2026 season
Keanu Reeves has fronted a documentary series chronicling Cadillac’s final preparations in Silverstone and Indianapolis ahead of its entry into Formula 1 in 2026.
Cadillac Formula 1 Team has secured UK and US access for a multi-part documentary, featuring Keanu Reeves as host and executive producer, with filming having taken place across Silverstone and Indianapolis. The series has followed the team’s work under TWG Motorsports and General Motors, tracking its progress towards the 2026 F1 grid.
It has highlighted the challenge of assembling a competitive team within a 764‑day build window, incorporating a flat management model inspired by NASA’s Apollo Project and capturing the recruitment process aimed at delivering an American‑based entry in a field traditionally dominated by European organisations.
The documentary has been produced in partnership with North One of All3Media and Reeves’s KR&SH Productions, both having contributed teams behind the Emmy–winning Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story. Filming has included behind‑the‑scenes coverage at TWG’s UK warehouses near Silverstone and at its US base in Indianapolis .
The series has been timed to air before Cadillac’s debut at the 2026 season opener in Melbourne, providing UK audiences with new insight into the domestic operations of the emerging team. As Formula 1 continues to grow its UK and global fanbase, the series has offered additional UK context, emphasising the importance of Silverstone and the UK’s motorsport infrastructure in building the team.
Formula 1 has expanded to include 11 teams from 2026, marking the first new entry since Haas in 2016. The documentary follows strong recent interest in behind‑the‑scenes F1 content—Reeves’s earlier series won an International Emmy and the F1 film starring Brad Pitt earned over $150m at the global box office and arrives as UK audiences prepare for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
