As the season comes to an end, seven drivers finish their career with f1 academy. Doriane Pin finished as the winner of the series and ended her career in the academy on a high. For the first time in F1 Academy, the battle for the drivers’ title was decided in the final race which shows the competitiveness the series has become.

Doriane Pin: Mercedes

After scoring points in every race possible across the seven rounds, Pin won the championship in Las Vegas. She won races in Shanghai, Miami, Montreal and Las Vegas with the latter two being the first time they have had races on these tracks.

She also reached the podium on a further four occasions including one P2 and three P3 with her lowest race position being in P6 (for race one in Zandvoort). Pin was also the fastest lap on seven occasions across all races in the F1 calendar.

Maya Weug: Scuderia Ferrari

Weug finished second in the championship after being 15 points behind Pin. In two races during the season, she failed to score points (one DNS and one Retirement). The Dutch driver finished on the podium nine times including three P1 positions (two where she started on pole).

In total, she had three pole positions, two fastest laps and three P2 finishes across the races in the F1 calendar. At the start of the season, she moved from Prema to HP while still driving under the Ferrari name.

Chloe Chambers: Red Bull Ford

Chloe finished in P3 after her second season in F1 Academy, staying with Campos Racing but moved to be under the Red Bull Ford Car. Throughout the season, she had four non point finishes (a P10 finish, a P11 finish, a DNS and a Retirement).

Chloe had four fastest laps and started in pole position four times, but only won two races in Canada and Las Vegas respectively. Throughout the season, she accumulated 127 points and was 30 points behind Maya Weug in P2 come the end of the season.

Tina Hausmann: Aston Martin

In the final rankings, Tina Hausmann finished P8 after a comfortable time in the middle of the rankings. She retired and did not start on two occasions but overall across the season, the Swiss driver got 50 points.

She featured in the P6 spot on three occasions as well as getting a fastest lap and finishing P7 in the same race. Her highest finish across the season was P4 in Montreal during the third race.

Lia Block: Williams

It has been announced that Lia Block would return to rallying after her time in single seater and her time in F1 Academy. She finished behind Tina Hausmann in P9 and got 37 points across the season.

Her highest finish was in the first race in Singapore as she got P1 but she also got P2 in the first race at Zandvoort. She retained places outside the points throughout her time in the second season but had occasional appearances in the points.

Chloe Chong: Charlotte Tilbury

Chloe Chong replaced Lola Lovinfosse in the Charlotte Tilbury supporting car and finished her final series in P11 with 18 points. Her highest finish across the season was in the third race at Montreal finishing in P5.

She had an unlucky time throughout the season as she only was in the points on four occasions in Saudi Arabia, Canada, Netherlands and Singapore. The Brit also retired on two occasions in Jeddah and Miami respectively and was unfortunate to finish higher across the season.

Aurelia Nobels: Puma

Aurelia was the lowest place finisher across the drivers leaving as she finished in P13. The Brazilian finished in P3 in Las Vegas which was her highest finish across the season.

Throughout the season, she retired on three occasions and finished in the points in Miami, Montreal, Singapore and both occasions in Las Vegas which was the final time on track.

Abbi Pulling: From Karting prodigy to F1 Academy champion

Abbi Pulling is emerging as a trailblazer in motorsport, with aspirations to follow in Susie Wolff’s footsteps and become the first female Formula One driver in over a decade

Pulling inherited her love of racing from her father, Andy, who competed in motorcycle circuit endurance events. From the age of three, she was a familiar face in the paddock, learning the rhythms of race weekends at his side.

At just eight years old, Pulling chose to pursue four wheels over two, beginning her karting career. Her first competitive race came in 2013, and by 2017 she had already made her mark, winning the Super 1 National Junior TKM Championship.

She repeated the achievement in 2018, becoming the first female driver to win a British Championship in a TKM category. The Super 1 Championship has long been a proving ground for future F1 talent, with past drivers including Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and David Coulthard – underlining the scale of Pulling’s achievement.

Her success in karting led to three rounds in the Ginetta Junior Championship in 2018 with Total Control Racing. A year later she progressed to the Ginetta GT5 Challenge, achieving back-to-back sixth place finishes at Donington Park.

These performances paved the way for her transition to single seaters in the 2020 British F4 Championship, where she immediately impressed with four podium finishes and sixth overall in her debut season.

Pulling hoped to graduate into the W Series, but Covid disrupted the selection process and left her on the reserve list. Despite limited opportunities, she still managed to race in four of the eight rounds in 2021 – qualifying on pole and securing a podium at the season finale in Austin which lifted her to seventh in the standings and secured her a full-time seat for 2022.

The following year she also earned a place in the Alpine Academy as recognition of her raw talent and growing profile. She finished the 2022 W Series season fourth overall, but the championship folded at the end of the year, leaving her career once again at a crossroads.

Opportunity came in the form of Susie Wolff’s newly launched F1 Academy, a series designed to fast-track female drivers into the higher tiers of motorsport. Pulling joined Rodin Carlin for the inaugural 2023 season, finishing fifth overall with seven podiums.

Returning in 2024 under intense pressure to deliver results, she produced a dominant campaign: nine wins, 10 pole positions, six fastest laps and 14 podiums from 14 races. Unsurprisingly, she clinched the championship title and, with it, a fully funded seat in GB3 for 2025.

Alongside her F1 Academy commitments, Pulling also raced in F4, making history as the first woman to win an F4 race with victory at Brands Hatch. She went on to finish seventh in the championship – proof that her talent translated beyond all-female series.

Pulling’s debut season in GB3 has been equally groundbreaking. She qualified fourth and finished fifth in her very first race, before claiming a landmark third place at Brands Hatch – the first ever podium for a female driver in the series. With just two races left in the 2025 season, she currently sits 12th in the standings, having scored points in all but three races.

From karting prodigy to F1 Academy champion, Abbi Pulling continues to make history at every step of her journey. With her talent, determination, and trailblazing results, she is proving that a woman’s place on the Formula One grid is not just possible – but inevitable.
