BIANCA BUSTAMANTE IS RACING THE LONG GAME AND MAKING HISTORY ALONG THE WAY
At 21, the Manila-born driver reached her biggest breakthrough by joining the F1 Academy and becoming the newest addition to the McLaren Driver Development Programme, marking a historic first as the first woman driver signed to the British team’s development academy. Bianca competes across the Eurocup-3 Winter Series and Championship, building off experience in GB3, F1 Academy, and the W Series, plus Formula E test sessions with McLaren and Cupra Kiro.
But her influence goes far beyond the track. One of the most influential non-European drivers in the sport, Bianca connects with a global audience of millions through her social media, a fanbase growing just as fast as her lap times. Splitting time between the Philippines and California, she brings creativity, culture, and confidence to her racing with zero fear of standing out.
A Forbes Europe 30 Under 30 honoree, Bianca is barrier breaker and flourishing creator, proving there’s no single way to look, or move, like a racer.
