ABBI PULLING Splits from Alpine Academy After F1 Academy Championship Win

• F1 Academy champion ABBI PULLING has officially parted ways with Alpine’s Formula 1 team after winning the 2024 title, choosing instead to take a fully-funded GB3 drive with Rodin Motorsport that was promised to whoever claimed the championship. This strategic move puts her on a direct path up the racing ladder while maintaining the momentum from her dominant F1 Academy season.
• PULLING’s decision came after what she described as “lengthy discussions” with Alpine, where she’d been an affiliate Academy member since 2022. Her departure follows that of Formula 2’s Victor Martins, suggesting some broader shifts within Alpine’s development program. The timing makes sense – why stay tied to a program when you’ve got a concrete next step that doesn’t require their backing?
• The connection between PULLING and Rodin runs deeper than just this GB3 opportunity, as she’s raced with the team throughout both her F1 Academy seasons and a partial British F4 campaign. She’s also become an ambassador for Rodin Cars, creating a comprehensive relationship that extends beyond just the racing seat. Her mentor ALICE POWELL’s history with Alpine as their Talent Identification and Development Mentor adds another layer to this transition story.
