When the third season of the W Series kicks off in Miami on Saturday, much of the attention will be on last season's champion Jamie Chadwick.
But gunning for her crown will be a hotshot young driver about to embark on her first full season in the series. Having started last year's campaign as a reserve driver, Abbi Pulling featured in four rounds, bagging a pole position and podium.
The 19-year-old's results in those four races were enough to secure her an automatic spot in this year's championship, as well as an academy contract with Formula One team Alpine. And with the support of the French squad, Pulling is hoping to wrestle the title from Chadwick's hands.
