Alpine Academy’s Abbi Pulling has confirmed her seat for the 2024 F1 Academy season. The young Brit is set to race for Rodin Carlin for another year, having raced for them in the inaugural 2023 season as well.
In the inaugural F1 Academy season, Pulling scored seven podiums with Rodin Carlin and finished fifth in the Drivers’ Standings.
Pulling joined the Alpine Affiliate programme in 2022 before becoming an Alpine Academy member in 2023.
Abbi Pulling, an Alpine Academy driver, commented:
“I am very grateful to be coming back for another year as an Alpine Academy driver, and I am honoured that BWT Alpine F1 Team are entrusting me as their driver selection for the 2024 F1 Academy season. This will be my third season in the team’s driver development programme. It’s amazing to be a part of the Alpine Racing family and have such incredible access and support from a Formula 1 team. I am looking forward to competing in the F1 Academy series for a second season and to be racing with Rodin Carlin again. I’m hoping to have a successful year and bring in some good results for the team. I am excited to head into another season of racing on the Formula 1 support bill, the atmosphere is going to be incredible.“
Julian Rouse, Interim Sporting Director, Alpine, said:
“We are pleased to announce Abbi as our BWT Alpine F1 Team driver selection for F1 Academy’s 2024 season. This will be her third season as a member of the Alpine Racing family as an Alpine Academy driver, and she has shown some great progress over the course of her time with the team, both on and off the track. She is a fantastic example of how the Academy programme aims to help develop our drivers and support them in the progression of their career, both as drivers and as people. She will be competing in F1 Academy for a second consecutive season and will be supported by the Academy programme and wider BWT Alpine F1 Team throughout her campaign.“
Stephanie Carlin, Team Principal, Rodin Carlin, added:
“I am so pleased that both Abbi and Alpine have put their faith in the team again for the 2024 season. Abbi is a delight to work with and her speed behind the wheel and general work ethic is fantastic. Not only that, she’s a fantastic role model for other women in motorsport. Abbi was a star to watch last year and I have no doubt she will be a championship contender in 2024. I’m also pleased that she will be taking part in selected British F4 rounds which will give her even more valuable time behind the wheel in another competitive championship.“
