F1 ACADEMY DRIVER BIANCA BUSTAMANTE ON LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
A month on from her historic F1 Academy race win in Valencia, Bianca Bustamante still can't believe it. The Filipina driver has made a remarkable journey from her homeland to the racetrack.
"When I won, it was like the whole world suddenly exploded," Bustamante told DW.
The 18-year-old received a message from the president of the Philippines, had a resolution voiced on the country's senate floor and saw her face splashed across an enormous billboard on the busiest street in Manila.
"I honestly didn't know how to react. I wasn't expecting the effect would be this much. It was really a crazy moment for me. To experience all this stuff at 18, sometimes I think it's a bit too much," she said.
It would be easy to dismiss this response as classic athlete hyperbole, but Bustamante's journey to this point explains why the tears flowed and the country celebrated when the teenager stood on the podium.
