Abbi Pulling, representing Rodin Motorsport, achieved a remarkable feat at the FIA Formula Academy Round 2 Race 2 at the Miami International Autodrome on May 4, 2024. Pulling secured a dominant victory, finishing the race with a five-second advantage. This win solidified her position as the leader in the Drivers’ Championship, with a 21-point lead over Doriane Pin, a driver from the Mercedes Junior team. Bianca Bustamente also delivered an impressive performance, holding off strong competition to secure her first podium of the year. However, Pulling’s domination during the weekend in Miami allowed her to claim a double victory.
From the start, Pulling defended his leadership, successfully navigating the first corner while Bustamente faced pressure from Pin. Unfortunately, there was an incident on the opening lap in Sector 2, involving Hausmann and Lovinfosse, forcing both drivers to retire from the races in Miami. On lap 2, Nerea Martí engaged in an exciting battle with Maya Weug, with Chloe Chambers also joining the fight. As the race progressed, Nobels made a bold move, overtaking Weug on the long straight after Turn 16, but Weug managed to defend her position in Turns 17 and 18. Martí, in her pursuit of Edgar in 10th place, made a mistake in Turn 6, falling slightly short of closing the gap. Bustamente remained within a second of the race leader in the first four laps, but eventually lost the advantage after exiting the DRS zone on lap 5. Despite attempting to overtake the Guest Participant in Turn 14, Bustamente went wide and had to give back the 14th place. Emely De Heus, on the other hand, managed to overtake Courtney Crone in Turn 15, steadily progressing through the field. Weug also made a bold move, overtaking Hamda Al Qubaisi in Turn 1 and skillfully defending her position in Turns 3 and 4, gaining a position in the process.
The first three drivers began to pull away from the rest of the pack on lap 6, with Pin in third place, five seconds ahead of the driver indicated by Haas, Chambers. An error from the Tommy Hilfiger driver in Turn 12 left her vulnerable to Edgar in 10th place, while the British driver was aiming for a secure position in the points. Lovinfosse made a bold move on Nobels in Turn 6, causing Nobels to go off track to defend his position. However, the two drivers later collided in Turn 17. Both dropped to the back of the grid and continued the race, but Lovinfosse received a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision with Hausmann on lap 1. The incident in Turn 17 was observed by the race stewards on lap 9, resulting in an additional 10-second penalty for the Charlotte Tilbury driver.
Pin closely followed the McLaren development driver, staying within striking distance, while young rally driver Lia Block battled with Edgar. Edgar briefly went off track at Turn 11 before finally overtaking Martí at Turn 13, engaging in a side-by-side battle for three corners. After giving back the position to Martí, Edgar quickly passed the Tommy Hilfiger driver again, but spun out coming out of Turn 6. Pin got to within a second of Bustamente, but couldn’t overtake her at the last corner, losing ground as they entered the straight. The McLaren-backed driver made an impressive recovery to secure second place after a disastrous race 1, clinching her first podium of 2024, while Pin finished third. Chambers maintained her fourth position, followed by Emirati driver Hamda Al Qubaisi in fifth, with Martí close behind in sixth. Amna Al Qubaisi finished in eighth place, while Carrie Shreiner scored points by finishing ninth, and De Heus completed the top 10. Block narrowly missed out on scoring points, finishing just four tenths outside the top positions, while the Guest Participant improved their performance in Race 1 with a 12th place. Due to penalties, Lovinfosse finished 46 seconds behind the race leader in 15th place, with sponsor Charlotte Tilbury waving the checkered flag.
