McLaren has confirmed that Bianca Bustamante will partner Ella Lloyd at next month's all-female Formula E test. 

Bustamante joined the McLaren driver development programme last year and has been representing the Woking-based team in F1 Academy with ART Grand Prix

In the next phase of her development, the Filipino driver will be with McLaren in Valencia next month for not only Formula E pre-season testing but also for the all-female test on November 7.

“I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a GEN3 Evo car with the NEOM McLaren Formula E Team next month in Valencia," said Bustamante. 

"I’ve already been honing my skills in the simulator, and working with the team so I can extract the most from this opportunity as I can. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Bustamante has been involved in motorsport since she was five and will feature alongside Lloyd – McLaren's newest development driver – in the all-female test.
