I think I'm just solidifying myself as a fan of sports romance. There's just something about a story with a woman succeeding in a male-dominated space that I very much relate to, and the banter with the guys that is so familiar to me.
F1 is not a sport that I follow, but there are elements of it that I am familiar with, having grown up with a dad who loves NASCAR and racing. For people who are not as plugged into the racing circuit, this book has the feels of the Tom Cruise movie, "Days of Thunder," including having a curly, redheaded female lead (although from the UK, so not a complete copy of Nicole Kidman).
There are elements of found family, not being able to trust the press, friendship, forgiveness, PTSD, and navigating between your emotional life and your professional life. The blurb on the back makes you think that this is a second-chance romance, but the reality was more like an unrequited first infatuation - there are still past feelings to be dealt with, but not the betrayal and heartbreak that so often comes with the second chance trope.
