Tatiana Calderon makes F1 debut at Sauber filming day

Tatiana Calderon made her Formula One debut on Tuesday after completing just under 100km behind the wheel of this year's Sauber C37.

Calderon was taking part in a filming day with the team at the venue of Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The Colombian GP3 driver completed 23 laps, which brought her just under the 100km limit imposed on filming days.

She completed the run across four stints using promotional tyres, which do not offer the same level of performance as Pirelli's race tyres. The filming day means she is the first woman to drive a contemporary Formula One car since Susie Wolff took part in a free practice session with Williams in 2015.
