F1 Academy 2024 FINALE

Abbi Pulling is elected world champion but the F1 Academy 2024 season has only one venue left; Yas Marina. With PREMA Racing and RODIN Motorsport locked in a two-way clash for the Team Champions title, this season finale tells all.

Following the cancellation of the second race in Qatar, the season finale was expanded into a three-race event as compensation. Joining the grid for the final races is the last Wild Card driver of the 2024 season, Logan Hannah, representing Away.

In the first two races, this season's champion, Abbi Pulling, an Alpine driver supported by RODIN, set a new record by winning nine races, surpassing the previous champion, Marta Garcia. In Race 1, Pulling triumphed over Hamda Al Qubaisi and Dorianne Pin. Then, in Race 2, she again defeated Chloe Chambers and Hamda.

However, the final race of the season was filled with corner-cutting incidents and collisions among drivers. Notable incidents included Chloe Chambers crashing into Dorianne Pin, Bianca Bustamante colliding with Chambers, and Lia Block's hopes for a podium finish diminishing after receiving a penalty for colliding with Hamda Al Qubaisi. Ultimately, Ferrari driver Maya Weug emerged victorious for the first time in this chaotic race, with Pulling finishing in second place and Nerea Marti rounding out the podium in third, benefiting from Block's penalty.

Weug's recent victory seals Prema Racing's fate as the two-time F1 Academy team champions.

Congratulations to the winners of the F1 Academy 2024 finale!

This concludes the 2024 season of F1 Academy. The 2025 season is going to be bigger than before with an increased grid thanks to a new team addition, the additional China race, and others. See you next season!
