F1 ACADEMY: Pulling secures back-to-back Singapore victories to strengthen title charge

Abbi Pulling ran the streets of Singapore once more, sealing her fourth Grand Chelem of the 2024 F1 ACADEMY campaign.

After earning pole on Friday, the Alpine driver was in complete control of Race 2. Despite an early Safety Car restart, the Briton’s hold over the lead never looked in doubt as she netted the fastest lap of Race 2 and took the chequered flag first by over three seconds.

Maya Weug’s quest for a top-three finish in the Drivers’ Standings was bolstered by her second consecutive P2 finish of the weekend after overcoming Mercedes’ Doriane Pin in an opening lap wheel-to-wheel battle.

Williams’ Lia Block delivered her best weekend of the year, bringing home back-to-back fourth-place finishes for ART Grand Prix. Nerea Martí put the pressure on the American at the restart but had to settle for fifth ahead of Hamda Al Qubaisi.

Singapore Wild Card Ella Lloyd made her presence known, making up one place to finish seventh. Chloe Chambers put together the move of the race late on, diving past her Campos Racing team mate Carrie Schreiner with an audacious late-braking move at Turn 8 for eighth, whilst Emely De Heus took the final point in P10.
