British racers make progress – all the news from Formula 1 2024

Abby Pulling, who fans will remember from her time on the podium in the Women’s W Series, made three motorsport headlines in one week.

First, she won both races of the new women’s F1 Academy series, held in Miami during the Formula 1 race weekend. And today Abby became the first woman in history to win in British F4: on the classic track at Brands Hatch, the Rodin team. racer Motorsport started from pole position, led all 22 laps and crossed the finish line almost 6 seconds ahead of his closest pursuer.

Of course, the Alpine F1 team was among the first to congratulate her, because the 21-year-old racer is one of the students of the Alpine Academy: “Abby Pulling is the first woman to win in British F4! This is a great achievement that deserves praise and applause!”

However, not only Abby Pulling deserves praise, but also Jamie Chadwick, three-time W Series champion: a few days ago she stood on the podium for the first time in Indianapolis after the result of a race in the American youth series Indy NXT. This also does not happen often in overseas motorsport: before her, the race in this series, which was then called Indy Lights, was won in 2010 by the British Pippa Mann.
