The spotlight falls on Mercedes’ standout racer, Doriane Pin, who blazed a trail of success in Jeddah with consecutive pole positions and a debut victory. However, it’s Alpine’s Abbi Pulling who emerges as the frontrunner in the Drivers’ Standings, hoping to extend her dominance on the streets of Miami.
Pulling Looks to Build on Momentum

The chase is on behind her to reach the top of the table this weekend, but it won’t be easy. The Briton has experience racing at the Miami track, and the technical track plays to Pulling’s strengths.

Meanwhile, PREMA Racing looks to regain its supremacy on the track, with Pin spearheading the charge and Weug showcasing consistency.
