Abiteboul was educated at the Lycée Carnot and Lycée Chaptal high schools in Paris, and went on to study multidisciplinary engineering at Grenoble Institute of Technology. Abiteboul had lodged a bet with Daniel Ricciardo: The bet was if Ricciardo got a podium for the team, then Abiteboul would have to get a tattoo chosen by the former. Ricciardo held up his side of the deal, securing a podium at the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix. Abiteboul is still due to get the tattoo.
