Fantastic characters and story!

This book was so enjoyable. The immersive experience was so fun with sound effects and multiple actors narrating the story! I might have to start watching F1 for the first time in my life!

Brilliant story and narration

F1 love story? Sign me the hell up. This story was super cute and fun, but also had some heart wrenching moments. I laughed, I teared up, I kicked my feet like an idiot.
Narration was on point. I would listen to all of these guys read literally anything and it would be brilliant.

Immersive, Addictive, and a New Favorite!

As someone who loves a good sports romance—especially one that features strong, intelligent women in STEM, The Winning Formula was an absolute win for me. The storyline was completely believable, diving deep into the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry like Formula 1. It’s one thing to write about a woman working in motorsport, but this book actually gets the intricacies of F1. The weekend formats, the behind-the-scenes dynamics, and the culture of the sport. Whoever wrote this clearly knows their stuff, and it made the story so much richer.

The main character’s journey was compelling, balancing professional ambition with the realities of dating in an industry where she’s constantly underestimated or placed under scrutiny. It’s an honest look at what it means to be exceptional in a field that often doesn't make room for women, let alone give them the credit they deserve.

And let’s talk about the narration—Maddy kills it. Her performance brings so much depth to the characters, making the highs exhilarating and the lows deeply emotional. She doesn’t just read the story; she lives it, making it even easier to get lost in the story.

One thing that took this audiobook to the next level was the sound effects. The inclusion of team radio snippets made it feel like I was right there in the paddock, experiencing the thrill and tension of an F1 weekend firsthand. It was so immersive and added an extra layer of realism that I absolutely loved.

I obsessedly listened to this book on the last day of my vacation, completely immersed, and I already know I’ll be listening to it again. Definitely a new favorite!

Fantastic!

Wow! what an incredible, immersive experience, so unexpected and genuinely swoon-worthy. Incredibly emotional and moving as well, I wasn't expecting to cry as much as I did. The narrators are on point, the story is electrifying and that final race scene! Wow! Everything I needed while waiting for the 2025 season to start!

Wow! I don’t know much about F1 but… LOVE THIS

Hands down the best Original I’ve listened to. I don’t know much about F1, but that didn’t seem to matter. This had me HOOKED. What a cast… !!! I felt like they were in my head. So fun with the sound effects too. Can we have a sequel?!?! Goosebumps and all the feels

Could listen to the entire cast read the phonebook

This is the romance I've been waiting for! Whether you're familiar with F1 or not (you definitely don't need to be to enjoy this) - this will make you feel like you're right there with Sienna and Finn as they fall for each other. Every phone call, every radio chat, every conversation makes you feel like you're right there with them - this was a fully immersive romance with the right dose of stakes/drama in the F1 world. It's a tightly drawn narrative with incredible soundscaping (particularly the race scenes!) and it was equally able to genuinely move and inspire giddiness. The entire cast are at the peak of their powers here - particularly the main two narrators. They were both a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, interesting and swoon-worthy romance set in a world which is so hard to adequately depict but which is handled deftly in this story. BRB going to go listen to it again!

Refreshing Storyline

I enjoyed this story immensely even though i know nothing of car racing. It was such a refreshing storyline with a determined, confident female lead character and a really likeable aussie male lead. Narration was great by both parties. Thanks all round.
