Abbi Pulling: F1’s next female driver will need time to get there
The HinduAbbi Pulling still has a long road ahead to reach Formula One after winning the all-female F1 Academy title but it remains the target and she believes time is on her side. “I’m still aiming to get to Formula One and I think if we see a female there, we won’t have a 17-year-old Max Verstappen-esque kind of entry,” she told Reuters after ending her season by winning her title twice in one week.

I hope it stays around for a very long time and keeps giving opportunities to girls that are in my position and can’t get through without it.” Race winner Abbi Pulling of Great Britain and Rodin Motorsport waves to the crowd during the second race of F1 Academy Round 7. “We don’t even have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, let alone millions.” Pulling was able to continue via the W Series, which required no financial contribution, and F1 Academy.
