Name: Rafaela Ferreira
Team: Visa Cash App Racing Bulls
Style Signature: Ferreira confirms that motorsport has taken her sense of style to new heights, where choosing what she wears, taking care of herself, and paying attention to the details of her fashion and makeup make her feel confident in who she is. "At the start, to be honest, I didn't dress very well, but over time, I started to take more care and now I love getting ready," she says. "I like wearing clothes that represent me, whether that's a sporty vibe or something else." She name drops Daniel Ricciardo's Enchanté as a clothing collection that brings style and motorsport together."
"I always say that I'm not there to be like the men, I'm there to be a woman who is just doing the same thing as a man."
Social Media: "With social media, it's something that you need to take a look of care with. I like to mix what I post, whether that's my personal life or my professional life. I like to share different parts of my day - from training, to the gym, to the moments that are really me," she says. "In the future, I want to talk more about the challenges that I've faced and the things that I go through because I think it could help other girls feel more connected and understood."
The Future of Women in Motorsport: Ferreira maintains that even though motorsport is a male-dominated environment, that shouldn't stop her from being feminine. "I always say that I'm not there to be like the men, I'm there to be a woman who is just doing the same thing as a man."
