Plenty of F1 personalities sent congratulatory messages to Buscombe and Divey including the likes of Valtteri Bottas and Pierre Gasly, who liked her Instagram post to send their love. Some of the other well-wishers included Chloe Grant, Sophia Floersch, and Bernie Collins, the former strategy engineer for Aston Martin.
