Alpine confirm Abbi Pulling for second F1 Academy season in 2024

Alpine has confirmed Abbi Pulling will enter F1 Academy for a second season in 2024 as the 20-year-old continues her journey with the French F1 team.

The British driver will embark on her sophomore season in the female-only single-seater series with Rodin Carlin, having already competed in the inaugural 2023 season. In that campaign, Pulling claimed seven podiums, two pole positions and four fastest laps which resulted in her fifth-place finish in the standings.

Pulling joined the Alpine team in 2022, as a member of the Alpine Affiliate Programme before she became a full Alpine Academy member in 2023. Heading into 2024, the Briton will continue to gain valuable support as part of the team’s academy.

As per the agreement with the 10 Formula One teams and the F1 Academy, it means Pulling will run the 2024 season under the Alpine livery. This will also strengthen the Alpine team’s commitment to improving the diversification of the motorsport industry through its Rac(H)er programme.

Excited about the upcoming season supporting Formula One at their selected grand prix events, Pulling said:

“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.”

Pulling has had a fairly impressive motorsport career so far in her young career. She finished sixth in the British Formula 4 season in 2020 before she joined the F1 Academy’s predecessor, W Series, part way through in 2021.

Pulling finished her debut season in the W Series in seventh before she improved on this the following year, finishing fourth.

On the news, Interim Sporting Director, Julian Rose commented:

“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.”

Hi, I’m Kamron. I created ApexMotorsports.co.uk in the dying embers of the 2021 Formula 1 world championship. It allowed me freedom to write whatever I wanted to write about which was all things motorsports, my passion.

I have put a lot of effort in over the years to keep this website in its best shape and I’ve loved seeing the brand grow consistently, month-on-month, year-on-year. My ambition is to keep watching this brand grow into a primary outlet of news for all things motorsports whilst fueling my desire to pursue a career in sports journalism, specialising in motorsports.
