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

I loved everything about this book - the story, the sound effects, the characters, the satisfaction ….. EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥

Australian narration was on point

I just finished this book and the only thing I didn't like about it was when it ended!
I had so many more questions and I'm definitely hoping for a sequel. The book was well-researched, and all the references to F1 and women in STEM were spot on.
The narration was great - it made me blush during some parts, and had me on the edge of my seat during the race sections. It's a great first audiobook for anyone new to the format. If you like things fast, listening at 1.2x speed was still great!

Great F1 romance

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This was such an immersive story. Almost makes me want to watch F1. Really engaging story line with heart stopping moments, laugh-out-loud quips, a few tears, and moments of swoon.
Loved the use of the recognisable commentary voices. Only thing that would have made the performance better is if they used the female and male narrators for all their dialogue rather than the imitation by the 1 narrator when it was their chapter.
Highly recommend

I can’t believe how much I loved this!
