Berliner Boersenzeitung - Hollywood star Reeves in driving seat for Cadillac series

Canadian screen actor Keanu Reeves, a motorsport fan, is to present a multi-episode production that will focus on the team's development of staff, cars and race team through a two-year process.

Cadillac was confirmed as the sport's 11th team for 2026 in March.

Reeves, 60, presented the Emmy award-winning 2023 documentary on Ross Brawn's eponymous team's success in beating the odds to win the title in 2009.

The star of Speed and The Matrix said he felt honoured and excited to tell the Cadillac story and "bring audiences into the heart of this journey and to showcase what it takes to participate in one of the most exclusive sports arenas in the world."

Reeves, who has an extensive collection of motor cycles and has taken part in a professional car race, the Toyota GR Cup, in Indianapolis, is not expected to follow Pitt's example and sample the thrill of driving an F1 car.

Pitt, 61, who reached a top speed of 197 mph in a test at Austin, Texas, in June, said recently that he wanted to "go back …I want to hit 200!"

McLaren boss Zak Brown, whose team supplied the car he drove, said he expected to see him return and repeat the experience.
