SUSIE WOLFF’s New Book Exposes F1 Power Games & Industry Progress

August 11, 2025

• SUSIE WOLFF’s new autobiography *Driven* pulls back the curtain on F1’s power dynamics, including a disturbing incident where an industry heavyweight attempted to enter her hotel room. She’s not naming names, but we can read between the lines about the vulnerability women face when careers depend on staying quiet about uncomfortable situations.
• The good news? WOLFF sees real progress in today’s F1 environment where women can actually report misconduct and expect to be heard. It’s a stark contrast to the era where speaking up meant career suicide, and while we shouldn’t need a gold star for basic accountability, it’s encouraging that the sport is finally catching up to civilized behavior.
• Her story serves as both cautionary tale and inspiration for the next generation of women entering motorsport. By documenting these experiences, WOLFF is creating the roadmap other women wished they’d had – proof that you can survive the boys’ club and come out stronger on the other side.
