FORMULA 1 RISING STAR BIANCA BUSTAMANTE: I CANNOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD TO CRASH
01 Jul 2025
I’ve loved watching the F1 on a Sunday afternoon since I was a kid - the cars, the glamour, the spraying everyone in champagne on the podium - it’s iconic. It’s a sport that’s known for its opulence and, despite being a gender mixed sport, it’s always been a male dominated space, but things are finally starting to change… Bianca Bustamante is a 20 year old driver from the Philippines. Her family sacrificed everything to get her to where she is today: her story is one of determination and perseverance. I was absolutely delighted to have her come join me in the studio to talk about her journey but also nerd-out about F1. We cover:• The physical training needed to be a race car driver• Being a woman in a male dominated sport• The impact of humble beginnings in Formula 1• Embracing and overcoming the fear of failure• How not to relate your self worth to your career This conversation illuminated what a crazy world Formula 1 can be but also how a positive approach to life can be such a game-changer to success.If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow usInstagram - www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcastTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcastAnd if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneProducer: Ewan Newbigging-ListerEditor: Dan KingAssistant Producer: Gurlina Heer + Emily D'SouzaVideo: Jake JiAudio: Rafi AmsiliSocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.
