Keanu Reeves’ excellent F1 adventure: Brawn GP doc set for release in November

First we had Brad Pitt at Silverstone ahead of his upcoming F1 film and now we have Keanu Reeves ‘starring’ in a re-telling of the Brawn GP story.

Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story will be aired in November and takes the form of a documentary hosted by the Hollywood actor best known to under-25s as John Wick and to the rest of us as one half of Bill & Ted. The four-part series focuses on how the team made the “impossible happen” and refers to itself as a “Formula 1 fairy tale”. More interesting for our readers is the promise of newly unearthed and unseen archive footage from 2009 as well as contributions from Ross Brawn, Jenson Button and Nick Fry.

Reeves himself is a keen biker and in 2007 founded the luxury custom bike company Arch Motorcycles, riding his own Arch KRGT-1 up the hill at Goodwood in 2016. The series is on Disney+ and will premier from November 15.
