ALICE POWELL and ABBI PULLING Break Ground as BBC’s First All-Female F1 Booth

June 11, 2026

• ALICE POWELL, 33, takes lead commentary role at Barcelona GP, fulfilling childhood dream inspired by Murray Walker while bringing two decades of multi-category racing experience to the microphone.
• ABBI PULLING returns as analyst after claiming 2024 F1 Academy title, fresh off maiden GB3 victory from pole at Spa-Francorchamps last month while serving as Nissan Formula E simulator driver.
• Historic all-female pairing emphasizes merit-based selection, with PULLING noting their positions stem from genuine sport involvement and experience rather than symbolic representation, reflecting evolving industry standards.
