British driver Abbi Pulling moved closer towards her first F1 Academy drivers' championship after a clean sweep of race wins in Singapore, but there was little time for celebrations as she had to catch a flight just hours later.

The tight schedule was not an issue for Pulling, however, as she knew exactly what she wanted to do to commemorate a stellar weekend: Have a Singapore Sling at the airport.

During her last visit to Singapore in 2022 for the now-defunct W Series, another all-women championship, the Briton also had the gin-based cocktail, but the circumstances have changed drastically since.

Two years ago, she finished sixth at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. But the 21-year-old kept up her scintillating form this season at the support event for the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix by winning both races in the fifth round of the championship.
