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."
