Pinay racing trailblazer Bianca Bustamante just had the red carpet experience of a lifetime, and she’s still not over it.
In an Instagram post, the 20-year-old race driver shared how surreal it felt to attend the “F1: The Movie” premiere at London’s iconic Leicester Square, rubbing elbows with A-listers and racing legends alike.
“I can’t believe I was there, right there, in the same room, existing, living. I’ve got so many butterflies right now, and not even in little Bia’s wildest dreams would this have ever seemed possible. Gosh hahahaha,” she wrote.
Bianca found herself surrounded by names she once only saw on screen like Brad Pitt, Ed Sheeran, and seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, who also co-produced the movie, which stars Pitt as a veteran racer making a comeback to help save an underdog team.
But the highlight for her wasn’t just the glitz, it was also seeing the sport she loves represented with heart and power on the big screen.
“The F1 Movie premiere felt like a fever dream. Watching Formula 1 come alive on the big screen, with a storyline that truly melted my heart, seeing everyone’s craft and hard work so beautifully represented!!! I can’t wait for the next generation to watch this and say, ‘I want to be an F1 driver’,” she said.
