We came to the 6 race of 7 of the F1 Academy, the first year in which the women's category was concurrent with the top category. Dorian Pin is back in pole, this time for both races, while close rival Abbi Pulling is 3rd. Dividing the race for the world championship between the French and the British is Maya weug in P2 with the prancing horse sewn on.
Doriane is strong on the weekend, but Pulling could already take the title in Qatar 2024
The games were played in the early afternoon penultimate qualifications of 2024 season is preferably used for female category. Qualifications that will determine the starting grid for Race 1 e Race 2, based on the first and second best times of young female drivers aged 18 to 26.
Dorian Pin, in excellent shape already from the Free tests, takes pole position in both races. In fact, his are both times best which allow her to start from pole position twice in a row. Maya weug e Abbi Pulling they must settle for, instead, second e third positionThe Ferrari driver, from the same team as Pin, was the only one to give the Frenchwoman a hard time until the last lap.
Strange to see, given the way the season has gone, the British Pulling so far behind its two main rivals with whom it has been competing for pole positions and victories since March 2024.
Despite this, however, Abbi Pulling will have – from Race 1 – the match point to become world champion with one race to spare.
A shortened session, due to an accident
All 13:15 the qualifying session was supposed to start, but due to of the accident caused by a car of the F2, who had taken to the track shortly before, had their start postponed. For this reason, the race management chose to shorten the session to not go over the times and allow the F1 Sprint to start on schedule.
A difficult session for the inexperienced drivers on this track, in fact many were unable to stay on the asphalt to complete their flying laps. Abbi Pulling is proof of this, who, despite the difficulties, still managed to conquer P3.
Leaving aside the off-track incidents, qualifying was a fairly smooth affair, with no incidents or early abandonments of the session.
