17 days ago by Hanrahan to c/philippines

Julia de los Angeles loves being at the top of the Philippine motorsport scene. She sheds light on what it's like to be one of the few women among mostly men.

Over the last few years Formula 1 has evolved from a niche fanbase into surging viewership in the Philippines, driven by Netflix's docuseries Drive to Survive.
