GRRL! SUMMARY:
- ABBI PULLING finally showed what we’ve been waiting for at Silverstone, charging from P14 to seventh in Race 3 after a weekend that started with promising pace in practice but derailed in qualifying. The reigning F1 Academy champion had been stuck in technical hell since her strong season opener, with lingering car issues from an earlier crash masking her true speed until the Budapest breakthrough.
- The weekend perfectly captured PULLING’s season-long frustration: she was third fastest in combined practice times and consistently quick in Friday sessions, but qualifying put her P12 and P14 for the races. Race 2 ended with contact damage and retirement, but Race 3 became her redemption story as she gained seven positions with competitive lap times that matched her teammate.
- PULLING’s seventh-place finish marked her best result since the season opener at the same circuit, moving her to 13th in standings with 122 points. Her post-race comments revealed the mental toll of the technical struggles, thanking supporters while acknowledging the mixed season. With Brands Hatch next—where she made history with her maiden British F4 win—we’re hoping this Silverstone performance signals the real ABBI PULLING is back.
