Abbi Pulling, a driver from Rodin Motorsport from Great Britain, showcased her skills at the FIA Formula Academy event in Miami, Florida, USA, on May 3, 2024. Pulling dominated the grid by setting the fastest times, securing pole positions for Race 1 and Race 2 at the Miami International Circuit.
During the session, Pulling consistently outperformed her competitors, initially claiming provisional pole ahead of Doriane Pin, also known as Iron Dame. However, Pulling further improved her time, setting an impressive lap time of 1:58.507s.
In the F1 Academy Qualifying, the two fastest times of the drivers determine the grid order for both races. The fastest time of the driver determines their position for Race 1, while their second fastest lap sets the grid for Race 2.
As the championship leader, Pulling was the first to set the fastest time. Next, the drivers nominated by Mercedes and Ferrari engaged in a fierce battle to challenge Pulling’s dominance.
During the session, Maya Weug became the first driver to break the two-minute mark, clocking a time of 1:59.555s after 10 minutes. Meanwhile, Pulling decided to abandon a fast lap and head back to the pits.
Pin, who initially set the second fastest time, dropped to third place while trying to snatch provisional pole from Pulling, the talented Alpine Junior Driver.
Lia Block, a driver from the Williams Academy, had a lock-up on one of her early fast laps and had to make a pit stop.
As the session reached its halfway point, several drivers opted to pit. However, Lola Lovinfosse, the driver nominated by Charlotte Tilbury, took advantage of the empty track and completed two fast laps.
Following Lovinfosse, Aurelia Nobels, the youngest driver on the grid, skillfully maneuvered her Puma car around the scorching Miami circuit.
On her return to the track, Pulling dominated the competition, surpassing the Ferrari driver with a time of 1:59.278s.
With a strong chance of securing pole position in both races, Pulling continued to improve her lap times in the final 10 minutes of the session, solidifying her place at the top.
Despite facing setup issues during the weekend, Pin dropped to seventh place in the final eight minutes, while McLaren development driver Bianca Bustamente finished in second place, just two tenths of a second behind Pulling.
As the track temperature rose, the top 12 drivers were separated by just two seconds in the final six minutes.
Bustamente briefly took the lead, but Pulling quickly regained the fastest time, finishing four tenths of a second ahead.
Emirati driver Amna Al Qubaisi initially secured a front row position behind Pulling, but was overtaken by the impressive Iron Dame.
Pulling held onto her provisional pole position in the final four minutes, setting a time of 1:58.507, half a second faster than the French driver in second place.
Al Qubaisi maintained third place, followed by Bustamente in fourth and the Ferrari Academy driver in fifth.
Nerea Marti secured sixth place on the starting grid, while Nobels finished in eighth place, just ahead of Aston Martin’s Tina Haussman.
