• BIANCA BUSTAMANTE earned the ultimate co-sign when Reese Witherspoon told her she was the Hollywood star’s “favorite” in Netflix’s “F1: The Academy” documentary at the Miami premiere. The Filipina driver admitted she was “really petrified” about how her scenes would look but fell in love with seeing “the best years of her life” play out on screen.
• The seven-part documentary series features 12 female racers including BIANCA BUSTAMANTE, LIA BLOCK, CHLOE CHAMBERS, TINA HAUSMANN, LOLA LOVINFOSSE, AURELIA NOBELS, DORIANE PIN, ABBI PULLING, CARRIE SCHREINER, AMNA AL QUBAISI, HAMDA AL QUBAISI, and MAYA WEUG, plus F1 managing director SUSIE WOLFF. The series is produced by Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine media company.
• BUSTAMANTE revealed she strategically uses social media as “branding and marketing” to fund her racing career, covering everything from expensive race cars to her flat and travel costs. She’s also branching into fashion with magazine covers and BAFTA appearances, proving that diversifying your platform can open doors while keeping racing as the main focus.
