When Abbi Pulling first learned she’d be followed for Netflix’s F1: The Academy, she never anticipated the level of attention the series would bring to her pursuit of a Formula 1 dream. With the show landing on the streamer this week, Pulling is about to face a world of scrutiny — but, as she says, it’s a “privilege” and a responsibility.
This docuseries is more than just another show about motorsport. It shines a spotlight on the F1 Academy, a women’s-only racing competition, which runs as a support series to the main F1 Grand Prix. Following the success of Drive to Survive, the show gives viewers an exclusive look behind the scenes of a sport traditionally dominated by men, showcasing what it really takes to break barriers in one of the world’s most demanding industries.
