Debut of Keanu Reeves-Hosted F1 Documentary Scheduled for November 15 on Hulu

A forthcoming documentary series, presented by Keanu Reeves, will explore the remarkable journey of Brawn GP’s triumph in the 2009 Formula 1 World Championship.

The quartet of episodes is slated for release on November 15, available for streaming on Hulu within the United States and on Disney+ internationally.

Produced by North One, the documentary chronicles Ross Brawn’s acquisition of the Honda F1 team just before the onset of the 2009 season for a nominal sum of one British pound. The series delves into how Brawn masterfully revitalized the team, culminating in capturing both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ championships.

Jenson Button, who was awarded the Drivers’ title, features prominently in the series. He has confirmed through social media channels that the documentary will include an abundance of previously unreleased footage from the 2009 season. Ross Brawn, Nick Fry—the then CEO of the team—and Rubens Barrichello, Button’s teammate at the time, are also set to appear in the series.

In the documentary, titled “Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story,” both Keanu Reeves and Jenson Button make appearances.

Although Brawn GP had a single but monumental season, Ross Brawn later sold the team to Mercedes-Benz. He remained with the outfit until 2013, taking a hiatus from the sport thereafter. Brawn resumed his involvement in F1 in 2017, this time in an administrative capacity.

After the sale of Brawn GP, Button transferred to McLaren but was unable to replicate his previous level of success. He exited Formula 1 following the 2017 season. Barrichello, who had finished third in the 2009 championship, went on to join Williams for his final two seasons, retiring at the end of 2011. He later participated in IndyCar for a solitary season in 2012.

Keanu Reeves, a known aficionado of high-speed cars and motorcycles, has been sighted at several F1 events in recent years. Reports from July indicate that he conducted interviews with various figures associated with Formula 1 during Brawn GP’s active years, including former Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo and current Red Bull Racing Team Principal Christian Horner.

In the wake of the popular Netflix series “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” competing streaming platforms have revealed plans for their own Formula 1-related content. Notably, a documentary focused on Lewis Hamilton and a feature film starring Brad Pitt are in development for AppleTV+.
