F1 Academy Driver Abbi Pulling's Must-Have Products

"I struggle to drink water regularly because it just doesn't taste like anything, it's not exciting," Pulling says. As an athlete who has to perform in hot environments, the Pas Nutrition Excel Gels ($32, originally $64) help her stay hydrated and on top of her game. "I am constantly doing sweat tests to make sure that I'm hydrated enough," she reveals. Her favorite flavor is fruit punch, and the gel packs help her to keep drinking water throughout the day.

Pro Tip: Pulling also uses a water bottle with a built-in timer that reminds her to drink water often. You can get the editor-backed Hidrate water bottle, if you want an option that lets you set reminders to drink water periodically.

Growing up, Pulling has always been interested in graphic design — and she found a way to put her creative outlet to use with her motorsport career. "I ended up needing to make my own sponsorship decks," she shares, referring to presentations she has to pitch the brands to help sponsor her career. "I taught myself how to use Adobe Creative Cloud ($60) as a 16-17-year-old so that I could put these presentations together to go in front of companies to try to convince people why they should invest in me."

She loves to play around with the programs offered in the Adobe Creative Cloud and learn new skills, whether it's brushing up on Photoshop skills or experimenting with video editing software. Pulling created her own logo and signing cards, and is currently learning about helmet customization and design. Although she is self-taught, Pulling recommends YouTube as a resource for learning graphic design. She's also learned from others in the industry, like Miles Murphy of MDM Designs, who does designs for various F1 drivers.

Pulling starts her mornings off with some Innocent Smooth Orange Juice ($4). "It's got to be no bits," she says. Noting that it's a good source of vitamin C, she says orange juice not only tastes good but also helps her build immunity. "It wakes me up in the morning. It's a routine."

Pulling's skin type leans more dry, especially around the eye area, and her go-to nighttime skin-care product is the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream ($65). "I use it in the morning and at night just to make sure I go to bed extra, extra hydrated," she says. She discovered the moisturizer when the brand sponsored the championship this year. It has hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump, vitamins C and E for brightening, and a bionymph peptide complex to make your skin look smoother.

Most of Pulling's travel plans involve a race weekend, and her Bell Racing Helmet HP77 ($5,000) (along with its accompanying bag) is a must. "A helmet is a very valuable thing, and you can't really put it underneath in the hold or check it in," she says. Her helmet bag is pretty much her personal item bag as she uses it to carry her various helmet visors, a few notebooks, keys, a wallet, and a few smaller necessities.
