Description

Instant Sunday Times bestseller

An inside look at the competitive world of Formula One and trailblazer Susie Wolff's 20-year career, taking readers from the driver’s seat and the F1 paddock all the way to the future of the sport.

As a young girl, Susie Wolff dreamed of one day racing Formula One cars—the fastest in the world, reaching speeds of over 200 mph. But F1 was completely dominated by men. The sport is grueling both mentally and physically. Turning a corner can feel like four times your body weight is pressing against you. And the question always hovered: Could a woman really compete with the men?

After years of sacrifice and doubt, Susie rose through the ranks to earn her spot behind the wheel of an F1 car. She became the first woman in more than two decades to take part in a Formula One race weekend. But her story didn’t end at the checkered flag. Shifting to the business side and inspired by her husband, Toto, who runs one of the most successful F1 teams in history, she led her own Formula E team to championship contention. In 2023 she took over the leadership of F1 Academy with the mission of bringing the next generation of young women into the sport.

Driven
is a thrilling story about the highest levels of driving—but more than that, it’s a story of perseverance bound to inspire anyone on or off the track.

I finished Driven by Susie Wolff in two days. I picked it up because I kept hearing her name as Toto Wolff’s wife, but the story I found was her own. She begins as a racer in a male dominated sport. She then steps into managing a team and does it with a sharp understanding of her worth. She negotiates in a way that gives her real ownership so she is not simply an employee. She is a builder shaping something she believes in.

What struck me most was how universal her lessons are. This book is not only for Formula One or karting fans. It is for anyone curious about leadership, business, and the hard work of choosing your own path. She writes with honesty about ambition, tough decisions, and the moment you realize a dream no longer fits. She also shows how support can steady you without carrying you. Her parents gave her roots. Toto Wolff gave her a partner who listened. But her drive and resilience are her own.

I did not expect to get emotional, but the final chapters almost made me cry. The life lessons land with force. The hope she has for girls in sport feels real. I admire her clarity of purpose and her commitment to creating a more balanced world for all genders. This is a fantastic read. I am grateful to Net Galley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy. I hope many people pick it up.
