Britain’s Abbi Pulling has taken another big step towards the F1 Academy title with a second dominant victory in Singapore.
One day on from a lights-to-flag win in Race One, Pulling replicated that drive with a stunning performance on Sunday from pole position and also took the fastest lap.
The Alpine junior’s seventh win of 2024 means she leads Doriane Pin by 95 points with just four races remaining this season in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
“It was a similar thing to yesterday. Get off the line, lead and control it from there,” said Pulling, who topped every session in Singapore.
“The car was amazing because it’s really hot today but the team did an amazing job.
“I’ve just clicked with this circuit. I love street circuits. It’s made it that much more special getting the double pole and double win. I couldn’t have even dreamed of it. I can’t thank everyone enough.”
