Abbi Pulling Set to Clinch F1 Academy Title: A Rising Star in the Alpine Ecosystem

Abbi Pulling, the British prodigy of the Alpine Academy, is on the cusp of securing the F1 Academy title, needing just 18 points at this weekend’s race in Qatar to seal her dominance. With an astounding seven wins and podium finishes in all 10 races this season, Pulling has emerged as a standout talent in the all-female series, positioning herself as one of the sport’s most promising young drivers.


A Stellar Season That’s Turning Heads

Pulling’s meteoric rise in her second season of the F1 Academy has not gone unnoticed. Esteban Ocon, Alpine’s Formula 1 driver, lavished praise on her performances:
“Super impressed with Abbi’s season,” Ocon said. “She’s one of those drivers who trains incredibly hard and stays engaged with the team. She’s been consistently impressive, not just in her results but in how she absorbs feedback and improves.”

Ocon highlighted how Pulling’s involvement with the Alpine ecosystem and her adaptability have contributed to her growth, adding:
“She’s been really involved in learning from us in Formula 1, and the feedback we get from her is always valid. I hope she can wrap up the title this year.”

The Alpine Advantage

As a full-time member of the Alpine Academy since 2023, Pulling has benefited from access to top-tier resources and mentorship. This includes working closely with Alpine’s recently appointed team principal, Oliver Oakes, who brings a wealth of experience from founding the successful junior single-seater outfit Hitech GP.

Oakes, already impressed by Pulling’s performances, acknowledged her potential to climb the motorsport ladder:
“She’s definitely on the right path to keep progressing,” Oakes said. “One of my first questions in an Enstone debrief was about her future plans. She’s pretty close to wrapping up the F1 Academy title, and her success is exciting to see.”


What’s Next for Abbi Pulling?

Winning the F1 Academy title will unlock a fully funded campaign in the British GB3 series for Pulling in 2025. The GB3 Championship, a renowned stepping stone for drivers aiming to enter the FIA Formula 3 World Championship, offers Pulling a clear pathway toward higher echelons of motorsport.

For Alpine, Pulling’s progression represents an opportunity to develop a competitive female driver in the male-dominated sport. Oakes hinted that discussions about her next steps are already underway:
“In due course, you’ll see what she’s going to be racing in. Her success so far makes her future very exciting.”


The Bigger Picture: Women in Motorsports

Pulling’s success in the F1 Academy not only cements her position as a rising star but also underscores the growing importance of creating opportunities for women in motorsport. Her imminent title victory highlights the potential of initiatives like the F1 Academy to cultivate talent and break barriers.


The Final Countdown

As Pulling heads into Qatar, the focus is on completing the job and claiming the F1 Academy crown. Her dominance this season, coupled with Alpine’s support and a clear roadmap for progression, positions her as a driver to watch as she advances through the ranks.

For Abbi Pulling, the F1 Academy title could be just the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
