March 23,2022 Barcelona-It’s a dream comes true for 17-year-old Bianca Bustamante ,after she secured a full-season drive in the 2022 W Series. Bustamante was selected base on her impressive performance at the official W Series Pre-Season test, held recently in March at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The W Series race seat puts Bustamante one step closer towards her ultimate goal – to be a Formula 1 driver. Bianca believes that W Series will provide her with a platform to inspire a new generation of young girls to take up motorsport.
Bianca is proud to be racing in W Series, an initiative that is breaking barriers and empowering female racers to be a part of motorsports on equal terms. The championship eliminates any financial barriers by selecting drivers purely on ability and provides a free-to-enter 8-race championship.
The 2022 season kicks off with the first race of the season alongside the inaugural Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix from 6th to 8th May 2022. The series will run in five new venues this year, including the first-ever W Series round in Asia held at the Suzuka Circuit.
“I am beyond thrilled to be part of W Series this season. It is a dream come true and I am still pinching myself every day to check this actually happened. All my life I have had my sights set on Formula 1, and now my racing career is heading in the right direction thanks to W Series. I’ve enjoyed every moment so far as I learn what it takes to become a professional driver, and I’m going to give it my all both on and off the track. I never knew what training meant until I spent the last few weeks with professional trainers, but I’m making big gains in both my strength and mental focus.”
