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."

Rachael Blackmore and Frankie Dettori praise Irish teen jockey after debut win

Rachael Blackmore and Frankie Dettori were among those to show their appreciation for an Irish teenage jockey, who tasted victory with his first ever ride. Jamie Martin steered Alaskan View (10/1) to win the Majestic Hotel INH Flat Race at Tramore on Friday, with the pair finishing ahead of the Patrick Mullins-ridden odds-on favourite Highland Realm (2/5). Grand National and Gold Cup winner Blackmore was among those to like a video of Martin's interview with Racing TV after the race on Instagram, with legendary flat jockey Dettori also liking the clip, as did Danny Mullins and Billy Loughnane. The win was all the more special for the 17-year-old as the horse is trained by the his grandfather Willie, owned by his brother and was led up by his father Mick. Many people took to social media to praise the secondary school student for his 'brilliant' post-race interview. One person said: "Well done young fella. Brilliant interview and great winner for ye." Another wrote: "What a great young man! Well done!" Someone else commented: "He's a fantastic fella, delighted for him." One other post read: "This young man deserves every bit of success that comes his way." Speaking after the race, Martin said: "I'm just so grateful to have the likes of my father and grandfather to give me the opportunity. My brother didn't want me on the horse, but my Dad had his way. I thought I was dreaming for a second. "I was talking to a few of the lads inside and I thought I was going to be making it, but there was a bit of competition for the lead and there was three horses upsides for nearly whole first round. I was tanking along so I let Alaskan View off in front. She travelled along beautifully and heard Patrick (Mullins) coming near, but lengthened out unreal. "I thought I was going to fall off near the end but I made it! I looked across and said to Patrick 'Did I win or not?" He added, smiling: "The plan was if I won this I'd retire with a 100 per cent strike rate but I think I'll have to keep on going!"

The Game of Thrones star, who shares two daughters – Willa (four) and Delphine (two) – with her ex-husband, singer Joe Jonas, shared a series of images on her Instagram page from the concert.
