F1 Academy racer Bianca Bustamante has become the newest addition to the McLaren Driver Development programme, with the 18-year-old making history as the first female driver to join the British team’s development programme.
I mean, McLaren doesnt need to have her in their programme at all. They could simply sponsor her in F1 Academy. Actually taking her into their programme suggests that they want to develop her for at least F3.

Maybe but considering who the McLaren owners are, I’m doubtful of a pro-female attitude going further than being promotional.
