Britain’s Abbi Pulling tells that drivers in the all-female F1 Academy will benefit from being “in front of F1 teams and are showing what they can do on a world stage” in 2024; F1 Academy’s second season runs on the Formula 1 weekend bill next year
F1 Academy driver Abbi Pulling believes the increased pressure that will come with the series being more closely associated with Formula 1 teams next year will only be a long-term benefit, with the grid racing “in front of the right people” and a global audience in 2024.
Speaking at an event held at the Silverstone museum, which through October has given free admission to girls aged 18 and under in a bid to inspire future careers in the motorsport industry under the tagline #GirlsWill, Pulling discussed the advantages that Formula 1’s increased presence in the series will bring.
All seven rounds of F1 Academy’s 2024 season will run on the Grand Prix weekend support bill, while the 10 F1 teams will each enter one affiliated driver in their respective team colours.
