The 38-year-old rose up the ranks in motor sport, competing in Formula Renault and the 2005 British F3 season. Her most noteworthy stint came in the DTM, where she raced for six years from 2006 to 2012.

In fact, she also served as a development driver for Williams F1 from 2012 to 2015. During her time with the British outfit, she took to the track on a few occasions to test their car. Currently, she’s the team principal of Venturi Racing, which competes in Formula E.

Apart from her presence around a racetrack, she’s quite popular on social media. Earlier today, the Scot shared a story on Instagram about Hamilton, where she has over 300,000 followers.
