• ABBI PULLING takes the spotlight in Netflix’s new F1 Academy docuseries, following her dramatic 2024 title chase for Alpine where she held an 83-point lead over Mercedes’ Doriane Pin heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. The 22-year-old driver admits she’s “quite scared” about the scrutiny coming her way but calls the opportunity a “privilege” that could boost women’s motorsport visibility.
• The series promises more drama than Drive to Survive, according to AMNA AL QUBAISI, who races alongside her sister Hamda in the women’s-only championship. With Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine producing, the show gives viewers an inside look at what it takes to break barriers in F1’s traditionally male-dominated world, following drivers competing for a fully-funded GB3 Championship season.
• American driver CHLOE CHAMBERS and BIANCA BUSTAMANTE join the cast, with both expressing excitement about showcasing the hard work and dedication required in women’s racing. The series launches this week, offering fans an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at F1 Academy’s rising stars as they chase their Formula 1 dreams and prove women belong at motorsport’s highest levels.
