  Instant Sunday Times bestsellerAn inside look at the competitive world of Formula One and trailblazer Susie Wolff's 20-year career, taking listners from the driver’s seat and the F1 paddock all the way to the future of the sport. This program is read by the author with an afterword read by Toto Wolff.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.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company

  The Montana writer Norman Maclean wrote, "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing." Rick Bass, born and raised in Houston, knows that in Texas, there's no clear line between religion and football.In Wrecking Ball, award-winning writer Rick Bass chronicles three seasons on the field with the Texas Express, a semiprofessional team in the Dynamic Texas Football Association. Light-years from the NFL, it has nowhere near the pomp of college football nor even of Texas high-school football. Most players are in their twenties, but some are older. Every year a few get to try out for the college game; others get scholarship money and a shot at another life. But for most, this is their last chance.One hundred and fifty-five pounds and forty-five years past his playing career as a one-season walk-on at Utah State, Rick Bass came to Brenham to write about the Express. But with a disastrous season unfolding, Bass was induced to suit up and take the field. Suddenly the writer became part of the story in a tale reminiscent of George Plimpton and Paper Lion. Rick's experience on and off the field and his observations about the game, the injuries, the expectations and pleasures of comradery, the influence of the coach, and race, poverty, and religion on the field, are the unforgettable subjects of Wrecking Ball.
