Abbi Pulling delivers victory in Singapore, claiming her 6th win of the season!

Formula 1

McLaren junior Bianca Bustamante caused an aborted race start as she drove over her grid box. She then failed to start from the pit lane for which she got a 10 second stop and go penalty for. The race was shortened to 11 laps due to this added formation lap

Going into turn one, the top four (Pulling, Weug, Pin and Block) all managed to hold their positions. However, Red Bull driver Hamda Al Qubaisi wasn't as lucky and dropped down a couple of places after going wide onto the run-off area at turn 1. Ella Lloyd took advantage of this opportunity and overtook Nerea Marti and Al Qubaisi. Lloyd's hope was short-lived however as she received a 5 second penalty for a false start.

Lloyd wasn't the only driver to receive a 5 second penalty however as 3rd place Pin also got one later on for the same reason. When she was given this penalty, she was 3.8 seconds ahead of Lia Block so decided to put in the work to pull away even further from the young American driver.

Pulling took the chequered flag just over 2 seconds clear of Weug in 2nd. Luckily for Pin, she managed to pull a big enough gap to remain ahead of Block by 2 tenths.

Wildcard Ella Lloyd wasn't as lucky though as her penalty dropped her from sixth to ninth.
