GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ABBI PULLING earned her GB3 seat the right way – by absolutely demolishing the F1 Academy field with nine wins in 15 races. Now she’s trading her Alpine academy contract for a Rodin Motorsport drive and an ambassador role, proving that championship hardware opens doors that politics can’t.
- Pre-season testing at Snetterton showed PULLING means business in the mixed-gender series, finishing fourth and sixth while consistently beating fellow F1A graduate BIANCA BUSTAMANTE by over a second. She’s only three to five tenths off teammate Alex Ninovic, who finished runner-up in GB4 last year – solid positioning for a series debut.
- Her Formula E test performance continues to turn heads – PULLING topped the all-women’s test at Jarama, beating JAMIE CHADWICK by three tenths despite never driving an FE car before. Her time was just 3.5 seconds off Mitch Evans’ week-best lap, putting real numbers behind her speed and adaptability across different racing categories.
