Following the announcement of Tina Hausmann at Aston Martin and Lia Block at Williams, Alpine has now also announced their driver for the F1 Academy. It was announced that 20-year-old British driver Abbi Pulling will get behind the wheel in the Alpine in 2024. Pulling herself is eager to drive the car.

Pulling enters her second consecutive season in F1 Academy, having participated in the series' first edition in 2023. Last season, the driver stood on the podium seven times, taking pole position twice in the Academy class. The British talent is very happy to have another season.
