Reseña del libro "Driven: The Inspirational Memoir from Formula One Trailblazer and Managing Director of F1 Academy Susie Wolff - As Seen on Netflix (en Inglés)"
From the moment her parents first sat her in a go-kart, Susie Wolff felt it – the thrill of speed, the spark of something bigger. A little girl who dared to dream to one day race in Formula One. As a teenager, the posters in her bedroom were not of boy bands or movie stars, but of F1 racing heroes.
As Susie Wolff rose through the ranks of motorsport, one truth became impossible to ignore: she was almost always the only woman on the grid. Each time she was knocked down, she got back up with the unshakeable belief that instinct and resilience could carve a path through a world not designed for her. The journey was tough, but one day she was handed the opportunity of a lifetime – 25 laps in a Formula One car. She knew chances like that didn’t come often, and when they did, you had to grab them.
After showing she could be competitive in an F1 car, what next? When her racing chapter ended, Susie didn’t stall, she pivoted. Inspired by her husband Toto’s strategic mind and relentless drive in powering one of the most successful Formula One teams in history, Susie began to see a new dimension of the sport – one beyond the driver’s seat. She led a struggling Formula E team and transformed it from being at the back of the grid to championship contention. More than that, she learned to evolve.
F1 Academy became her next mission: to inspire young women to enter motorsport and shape the future of the sport she loves.
In Driven, Susie lifts the bonnet for the first time on her extraordinary life. From the driver's seat of the racing car to the heart of the Formula One paddock, she offers a rare, first-hand view into the inner workings of motorsport at its highest level. She shares the triumphs of her early driving career, the setbacks she faced and the motivations behind her bold shift from the cockpit to the boardroom. Along the way, she reflects on her transformative relationship with her husband Toto and how she has navigated the balance between ambition and motherhood. Told with clarity and grace, this is the inspirational story of a woman determined not just to compete – but to redefine the race.
Susie is one of a kind. Her resilience, determination and brilliance have broken down barriers and made her the inspiration she is today. Susie's story is a powerful one for anyone hoping to understand what it takes to succeed against the odds, while staying true to yourself. - LEWIS HAMILTON
