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 withthe 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.
