Susie Wolff’s autobiography "Driven" shortlisted in three major award categories

F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff's autobiography Driven has become the first publication to secure nominations across three categories at the prestigious Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards. 

The deeply personal memoir offers a look into Wolff's ascent through the ranks, from her early days in karting to becoming the last woman to take part in a Formula 1 race weekend with Williams in 2014.

In addition to sharing insight into her career behind the wheel, the book also looks at her ongoing work with the F1 Academy and her other business ventures.

The Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards judging committee has shortlisted Driven in three categories. Driven is in the running for the Charles Tyrwhitt Autobiography of the Year, the inaugural Motorsport Book of the Year, and the Sports Audiobook of the Year.

"A huge thank you to everyone at the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards for nominating Driven in three major categories, including the inaugural Motorsport Book of the Year. It’s a real honour - especially having written it alongside my brother," Wolff said.

Wolff currently serves as the managing director of F1 Academy. Since its inception, the all-female racing series has gone from strength to strength, with its latest success being 2025 champion Doriane Pin's test in a Mercedes F1 car. 

"It was up to us to demonstrate that F1, which now has such a strong female fan base worldwide, wants to create opportunity and see more female representation," Wolff told F1 Academy.

"We can be proud of how far we’ve come. It’s been a collective effort from Formula 1, from the F1 Academy team and from the F1 teams. There’s been a real shift in the sport and F1 Academy speaks to that.

"We’re not just giving young women opportunities on track. We’re proving that this sport is no longer a man’s world. But I’m even more ambitious about what we can go on to achieve in the long term."
