Notes
Started racing at age 5 with her father,
grandfather and cousin (Sébastien Buemi, a
leading Formula 3 driver); grandfather Georges has
competed in les 24 Heures du Mans, the 24-h Rennen
Nürburgring and Nürburgring 1000-km
races.
"When you are on the track, it's exciting, the
atmosphere is really great – the teams and the
mechanics, the drivers, the speed. When you are at
home, you do fitness, a lot of things you don't
really like, but you do it for racing. Then you go
on the track and it's really amazing!"
Lack of funding precluded a competitive ride in
Formula 3, so Natacha planned to return to Formula
BMW, but her entry was denied because of her
Formula 3 experience – "Formula 3 was too
expensive to continue. We thought it was better
that we go one step back and pay to go in the best
team and race for the best sponsor, but it was not
possible to drive BMW. So we chose another option
and now we are here in Mazda. Formula Mazda is a
good series because it has some races with Champ
Car and the American Le Mans Series."
Was approached by three-time Formula One World
champion Niki Lauda and Willi Weber, seven-time
Formula One champion Michael Schumacher's manager;
was represented by Weber Management for three
years.
