Abbi Pulling, a successful British driver representing Rodin Motorsport, expressed her satisfaction with the car’s performance as she triumphed in Race 1 at the Miami International Autodrome. In an interview, she praised the venue and the enthusiastic American fans. Pulling acknowledged that, although things have been going well so far, she remains focused and determined to thoroughly analyze her performance with her team. She emphasized that perfection is unattainable, but she will strive to get as close as possible. Overall, she described her experience as fantastic.
During the race, Pulling overtook Doriane Pin, also known as the Iron Lady, early on, allowing her to secure a comfortable five-second lead over the French driver. This victory further solidified Pulling’s position at the top of the Driver Standings. In the previous race in Jeddah, she inherited her first win of the 2024 season after Pin received a penalty for crossing the finish line twice. Pulling expressed her satisfaction with her performance in Miami, where she outperformed the Mercedes Junior Driver throughout the weekend.
With three races completed, Pulling currently leads the Driver’s Championship with 44 points. She holds an 11-point advantage over Maya Weug, who is in second place, and a 12-point lead over Pin, who is in third. Despite her busy schedule competing in the British Formula 4 with Rodin Carlin and in the F1 Academy with Rodin Motorsport, Pulling has managed to excel in both series. She highlighted the significant differences between the two cars, explaining that regulations and compounds vary significantly. This requires her to remain mentally alert and adapt to different driving conditions, preventing her from relying solely on muscle memory.
Looking ahead to Race 2, which will take place tomorrow night, Pulling is optimistic about her chances of securing another victory. Starting from pole position, she aims to take advantage of the scorching heat in Miami and achieve a double win.
