BBC F1 podcast follows Cadillac preparations as Keanu Reeves joins Episode 3

Episode 3 of BBC Formula 1’s F1: Back at Base centres on Cadillac’s preparations for Formula 1, with Keanu Reeves appearing as part of a documentary project about the team’s path toward the grid. The episode also checks in on Ollie Bearman and Kimi Antonelli between races.

At Cadillac’s Silverstone base, the programme highlights a practical milestone: the team preparing its first sea freight of the season and assembling the garage structure intended for race-week use. Race Team Manager Pete Crolla is identified as overseeing those preparations.

The rookie-driver thread brings two different pressures into view. Bearman discusses work from a test session in Italy, while the episode notes that the Haas driver has added penalty points to his Super Licence and is at risk of a race ban, a disciplinary point editors may want to verify separately before elevating.

Antonelli’s segment is framed more around off-track obligations, including a confidential photoshoot ahead of 2026 and the wider team duties that sit around racing. For community discussion, the episode offers a useful contrast between F1’s logistical build-up, media demands, and the sporting pressures facing young drivers.
