Doriane ‘Looking Forward’ to F1 Academy’s Return

The 2024 F1 Academy season resumes this weekend as part of the support package for the Miami Grand Prix.

After an encouraging first weekend in Saudi Arabia, Doriane Pin is excited to be back behind the wheel of her F1 Academy car in the 305.

Our Junior Driver showed strong speed in the season-opener, taking pole for both races in Jeddah and crossing the line in first place in both races.

Unfortunately, she lost the win in the second race because of a penalty, which left her P3 in the standings leaving Saudi Arabia.

“I'm super excited to be back on track this weekend in Miami,” Doriane said before the second round.

“It’s a new challenge ahead and I’m really looking forward to discovering a new circuit and continuing the great work we started in Jeddah.

“It's always an amazing racing atmosphere in America too.”

It’ll be the second street circuit in a row for F1 Academy and marks the series’ return to American soil after Austin, Texas, hosted the 2023 finale.

Since the F1 Academy season-opener in March, it’s been a busy period for Doriane.

Not only has she completed F1 Academy testing and a training camp, she’s also been racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship and announced the addition of a new racing series to her list in 2024.

Alongside her F1 Academy racing, Doriane will compete with Iron Dames in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine – with its opening 2024 race taking place from 11-12 May.

When will Doriane be racing?

There will be two 40-minute practice sessions taking place on Friday, starting at 10:00 local time (15:00 BST) and 15:20 local time (20:00 BST) respectively.

Qualifying will take place at 10:25 local time (15:25 BST) on Saturday, with the first of the two 30-minute races beginning at 14:05 local time (19:05 BST).

The second and final race will be on Sunday at 13:05 local time (18:05 BST).
