About this listen

An engineer looking to prove herself. A driver in need of a comeback. One race season to win it all…

Sienna Skye is a race engineer at GreenSkye Racing, one of the top F1 teams, crunching the critical data so their drivers perform their best on the racetrack. As one of the few female engineers in the sport, she’s determined to show everyone she’s capable of winning a championship for her team.

Finn Di Santis is a driver whose steely determination and killer instincts used to win him Grand Prixes and racing contracts. Now, he’s scraping by at the bottom of the leaderboard with only his charm keeping the sponsors happy. All Finn has ever wanted is to race, but his dream might come to an end if he doesn’t start winning.

When an opportunity arises for them to compete together this season, it could be Sienna’s biggest career moment and Finn’s chance at the comeback of his life. With the cameras and pressure on them, the race is on for Sienna and Finn to fall into sync and bring home victory. As their reluctant partnership turns into something more complicated, Sienna and Finn begin to wonder if there’s more at stake here than their careers. If they can learn to trust each other, they could be the perfect equation to winning it all. But can they make it through the season with their hearts intact?

Editorial Review

Feed your need for speed
Move over hockey, there’s a hot new sport taking over romance libraries. Formula One romances are booming right now. Maybe it’s the fact that F1 drivers are super hot, the thrill of cars racing at dangerous speeds or the exotic race locations. Whatever it is, in the new Audible Original romance The Winning Formula, you get all three. Australian author Cara Veloce’s debut is a pulse-pounding love story between F1 engineer Sienna Skye and driver Finn Di Santis. Their reluctant working relationship turns into something more as they travel the world and fall in love while trying to win a Grand Prix. The immersive audio experience is anchored by a full cast that’s a who’s who of Aussie talent, led by podcast host Maddy MacRae and actor Ryan Corr. You’ll hear the cars whizzing around the track, the sound of the crowds cheering and the crackle of radio comms as Sienna and Finn banter back and forth. To find out more about The Winning Formula, read my interview with Cara Veloce. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Overall, it was a fun listen. I’m not sure why sometimes it was duet narration and other times it was just dual. Other than that, no complaints!

Fun

Had an absolutely fantastic cast, transitions between characters were great. Especially loved the audio effects of speaking on radio. Super cute story that definitely gave more insight to the goings on in racing. Definitely a recommended listen!

Fantastic cast and great story

Listened to the first 30 min and wanted to stop but knew all the great reviews couldn’t be wrong. They weren’t!!! The amazing audio efforts and narration made you feel like you were almost there! Even if racing isn’t of interest, it’s not mine, but found this book fascinating and well written.

Best audio and effects ever! More like a movie with just audio!

Loved the slow development of the romance between Finn and Sienna. If you love someone who cares what the world thinks! Racing chapters were intense.

I loved the way I felt the emotions throughout this book. As a race car driver it felt good to know the author understood racing, the behind the scenes. and the terminology.

the radio scenes, the announcing, it didn't feel like a book it felt like I was at the track again. 🥺😍

Great story

When I say I want an F1 romance, THIS is what I want. Focused on the storyline, some of the romance, but without being 90% cringey smut. My only regret is finding it too early that I don't have 8 in a row to binge.
I did laugh the whole way considering the disclaimer that this is purely fictional and not based on anyone real, when there's an Aussie heartthrob struggling and going for a comeback (it's ok, I wanted this to be the Danny story too), a British woman in the paddock whose father founded a team and has a special attachment to Silverstone/Sommerstone, someone who refers to themselves a smooth operator lol. It was so much fun finding these little Easter Eggs.
I would like many more of these please !

What a production!!I am a F1 fan so my worlds collided. This book really captured the sport from technical terms-building strategy-high performing athlete mindset and most importantly its male dominance. Putting women in STEM front & centre through the brilliant and lovely FMC had me hollering! F the glass ceiling. MMC reminded me of Daniel Ricardo a lot(IYKYK). Oh and to add Netflix DTS into the mix was so entertaining. I was squealing. The conversations between the FMC and MMC privately and on the race radio had me on edge and fawning over them. Perfect match. I need all the F1 girlies to read this ASAP

F1 girlies MUST READ ASAP

I’ve seriously NEVER watched F1 (or most any kind of) car racing - but I took a shot with this book because the preview drew me in. It was fully entertaining! First, I have to hand it to the talented narrators & production team - the audio, the sfx & the way it was all layered into the story was very compelling. Add in the narrators & of course the story over the other elements & you have a wonderfully fun & nicely written journey with romance, girl power (which was awesome to hear), a comeback story. A very pleasant listen.
I would RECOMMEND this book!

I’ve never even seen an F1 race!
