Blown away by grit and determination, the High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens has become one of the biggest fans of the F1 world. She started off as being amazed by the speed and skills of drivers on the silver screen. And now, she has turned the Hollywood diva into an avid fan of F1. From the moment she started going to the races, Vanessa got hooked. Having been to countless races, Hudgens is also friends with the F1 star, Lewis Hamilton. And now, when one of the F1 racers has made history, how could the Hollywood actress stay behind, especially if she is another Filipino woman?
Since Vanessa Hudgens herself is a Filipino woman from her mother’s side, watching another Filipino making history made her proud of her Filipino heritage. The 34-year-old could not resist and shared her excitement about the milestone achieved by the Filipino driver.

Hudgens is proud of her heritage from her mother’s side and has also visited the Philippines on multiple occasions. She is also proud of their culture and hopes to raise awareness for the same. Hence, a few days ago, 18-year-old Bianca Bustamante became the first Filipina to win a Formula 1 academy race. Being a Filipino herself, Hudgens could not stop herself from admiring the young star for this iconic achievement.
Hence, taking to her Instagram handle, she posted a story of a picture of Bianca wiping away her tears with a smile on her face. While doing so, the sports enthusiast also put a couple of emoticons of flexed biceps showing power and congratulating the young racer.

How did Hudgens draw her interest in other sports?
The Princess Switch actress grew up being a sports enthusiast. However, her favorite sport might be baseball, probably because of her fiance Cole Tucker, who plays shortstop for the Colorado Rockies.
If Hudgens is not playing her part in the entertainment industry, she can be seen golfing, practicing yoga, pilates, or sitting in the audience cheering for one of the many sports she likes.
