2 min readBy Express News Service
Keanu Reeves is engaged on a docuseries about Formula One for the streaming portal Disney+. This yet-to-be-titled four-part sequence will reportedly deal with Formula One managing director Ross Brawn, who in 2009 purchased the Honda staff, renamed it Brawn GP, and took it to 2 championship victories.
Reeves will host the sequence and has already been conducting interviews. Last week, Reeves was pictured on the British Grand Prix in Silverstone, UK, the place he spoke to an area racing journalist in regards to the documentary sequence.
“We want to tell that amazing remarkable story (of Brawn). There is so much to talk about. A friend of mine was telling me the story and I was so struck by it. He was actually working for Brawn back in the day in publicity and he’s a producer/director and so we were like, well let’s tell that story, let’s try and tell that story,” he stated.
“It’s been really great to be able to learn more about what was going on in Formula One that year. It wasn’t just the cars, new regulations, FOTA (the Formula One Teams Association), and breakaway series. I mean there was just so much happening in Formula One at that time. The world of Formula One was just extraordinary. I mean, it’s always extraordinary, but in that year with Brawn GP I think something really special happened,” Keanu added.
