The Filipino prospect has been making her way up the racecar ranks over the last three years.
Bustamante, 20, has documented near enough every moment of her ongoing journey on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.
And she’s also wowed her growing audience with just as many photos and videos of her day-to-day life and appearances at plush events as she has race posts.
A recent post including a series of selfies of her travelling first class was bombarded with comments about how radiant she looked.
One of her followers commented: “OMG so gorgeous.”
Another said: “You’re a stunning girl.”
And another said: “You’re blessed, girl.”
One merely remarked: “Damn.”

Bustamante’s motorsport journey really got into gear in January 2022 when she drove in the W Series test in Arizona with scores of other prospects.
That led to her competing in the 2022 W Series season, which she ended in 15th place.
She then started competing in Formula 4 before joining the all-female F1 Academy series with Prema Racing.
Her impressive drives caught the eye of McLaren, who in October 2023, signed her to their Driver development programme.
Bustamante also had a brief stint in Italian F4 with Art Grand Prix.
Her transition to Formula E began in October 2024 when it was announced she’d be part of pre-season testing for McLaren’s Formula E Women’s Team for the 2024-25 season.
And just last month, she was snapped as a development driver by Cupra Kiro.
Bustamante will be in action at the E-Prix at Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin this coming weekend.

And to say she’s excited by the race would be an understatement.
Bustamante wrote on her Instagram: “Such a surreal moment. I still can’t believe I’ll have this opportunity in 2025.”
