__Returning for her sophomore campaign, Abbi Pulling made sure it would be one to remember by showing formidable form on her way being crowned the 2024 F1 ACADEMY Champion.__

The Alpine driver was the one to beat, scoring nine wins, 10 pole positions and five Grand Chelems across one race each in Miami, Barcelona, Zandvoort, Singapore and Yas Marina. Never once finishing off the podium across the 14-race season, the Briton finished 121 points clear at the top of the Drivers' Standings.

Her nearest rival Doriane Pin got off the mark quickest, sealing victory at the opening race in Jeddah. Adding two wins and a further five podiums to her tally, the Mercedes driver and third-placed teammate Maya Weug's efforts helped PREMA Racing retain their hold over the Teams’ title and fend of Rodin Motorsport's challenge.


The second F1 Academy season will get underway in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from 7-9 March. The 2024 campaign will visit seven different venues across three continents, each supporting the Formula 1 World Championship and concluding with the season finale in Abu Dhabi in December.

Keep your eyes peeled and follow along to see who will follow in Marta García's footsteps and be crowned our 2024 Champion.
