Filipina racer Bianca Bustamante among Forbes' 30 under 30 Europe 2025 list
Bianca Bustamante has made it to Forbes' 30 Under 30 Europe list for 2025.
Forbes has recognized Bianca as the first female driver signed to the McLaren Driver Development Program in 2023 as part of F1 Academy.
"Her rise in the sport has gained her more than 3 million followers across Instagram and TikTok, and sponsorships from Anastasia Beverly Hills to Cisco," Forbes wrote.
On Instagram, Bianca expressed her gratitude at being included in the prestigious list.
"Gosh, putting this into writing feels unreal," she said.
"The 5-year-old me just wanted to drive till the sun went down... who knew this is who she'd grow up to be," she added.
Bianca then thanked the people who have been with her racing journey through the years.
"Words can't describe how much it means to me," she said.
"What a great source of motivation as I head into this new chapter," she added. "Can't wait to see where the future takes us."
In May 2023, Bianca achieved her first career win in Spain, followed by another win in Monza in July of the same year.
In July 2024, Bianca fronted the cover of Vogue Philippines alongside Hidilyn Diaz.
